PASTA ALLA NORMA (EGGPLANT PASTA)
Recipe video above. This is a traditional Italian pasta dish from Sicily, usually begun by cooking eggplant on the stove in a hefty amount of oil. I prefer roasting the eggplant - less oil plus the eggplant holds its shape better, especially when you roast at a high temp to caramelise the surface!Finishing with a good amount of fresh basil is traditional but even if you don't have any, there's other alternatives to add a touch of other flavour - such as fresh thyme, or extra dried herbs in the sauce.This is an excellent and satisfyingly "meaty" vegetarian main dish that will have even card-carrying carnivores asking for seconds!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 240°C / 450°F (220°C fan). Line a tray with baking / parchment paper.
- Toss eggplant with oil, salt and pepper. Spread on the tray and roast for 20 minutes.
- Flip, then roast for a further 5 minutes. Cool on tray (this helps the eggplant hold its shape when tossing).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Start cooking the pasta a couple of minutes after you start making the sauce (next section), until al dente or to your liking.
- Heat oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, cook for 20 seconds until golden, then add onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent and cooked through.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add wine, if using. Let it simmer, scraping the base of the pan to deglaze, until the wine mostly evaporates.
- Add tomato passata. Now pour the water into the passata bottle, screw on the lid, shake, and pour that in too (waste nothing!)
- Add dried herbs, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir and simmer 5 minutes.
- Stir in eggplant, then add cooked and drained pasta. GENTLY toss until pasta is coated in the sauce (so the eggplant doesn't turn into complete mush!).
- Serve immediately, garnished with a good pinch of fresh basil and parmesan.

MASALA MUSHROOM AND EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
I took techniques from different things I'd read, and came up with this fantastic dish. It's relatively easy for a weeknight meal, or beginner cook. We ate this with tortillas in place of chapati, but you could eat it with naan, roti, or even rice. This is almost like baingan bharta. *Note: this IS spicy, so adjust the red chili if it you need.

Steps:
- Boil eggplant cubes and chopped garlic clove in water for 10-12 minutes. Drain.
- While the eggplant is boiling, heat oil in skillet over med-high heat.
- Add onion, sauteing until clear/golden, about 5 minutes
- Add crushed garlic cloves and saute for added 2 minutes.
- Mix in tomatoes (don't drain them) and garam masala, red chili, turmeric. Mix this all well, and stir it occasionally. Cook it for about 8-10 minutes. You really want to do this for the allotted time to get the spices melded with the tangy tomatoes. Otherwise, the tomatoes taste raw.
- Add eggplant, mushrooms and salt to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir yogurt in a bowl to remove lumps and add the creamy yogurt to skillet quickly so it doesn't get chunky.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

PASTA WITH EGGPLANT SAUCE
This was my mother's recipe and is a nice way to incorporate eggplant into a meal. The thick, chunky sauce is splendid. I like to have it with a glass of red wine, crusty Italian bread and a tossed salad.-Jean Lawrence, Rochester, New York
