METHOD

Peel the aubergines and make three incisions down the length of each one, equal distance apart. Divide the basil, parmesan cheese and sliced garlic into four piles, one for each aubergine. Stuff basil into the first incision, Parmesan cheese into the second incision and garlic into the third incision. Fry in coconut oil, turning frequently until soft (don’t worry if they char/burn as you can peel this away once they’re cooked). In a separate pan fry the onions and crushed garlic until soft then add the passata, tomato puree, water and chilli. Let it bubble away for 15 minutes then add the aubergines, breaking them up into large pieces. If the aubergines have charred/burnt, peel this away before adding them to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for a further 30 minutes, adding extra water if needed. Serve with penne pasta and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
