  • Add aubergines, tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes. Fry for few minutes.
  • Add seasonigs.
  • Pour in the stock.
  • Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes. Aubergines should have become tender by now.
  • Add cream and grated cheese. Switch of the cooker. Do not cook after adding cream and cheese to maintain the creamy texture.

  • Garnish and serve!
  • Always mix hot sauce in hot pasta.

  • For pre preparation you can make the sauce before hand and keep aside. Warm it up on low heat and mix in the freshly boiled pasta at the time of serving.
  • Top it up with some fresh basil leaves to add the aroma.
