Recipe idea: Spaghetti with Tomato & Aubergine Sauce
The creaminess of the Aubergine & Basil Paste gives a silky smooth taste with
this sauce. This is so simple to make and the combination of tomato and
aubergine provides plenty of flavor.
Ingredients:
Spaghetti
Canned chopped tomato
3 cloves of garlic
1 small onion
Extra virgin olive oil
Olive Branch Aubergine & Basil Paste
Salt & pepper
Fresh basil
Cooking Instructions:
1. Chop the onion and garlic and saute in extra virgin olive oil over a low
heat.
2. Add the canned tomatoes, a little salt & pepper, cover the pan and cook for
about 20 minutes.
3. In a separate pan, boil plenty of water for the spaghetti. As it comes to the
boil, add some salt and as the heat intensifies, add the spaghetti.
4. Return to the pan with the tomatoes and add 2 tablespoons of Aubergine &
Basil Paste. Let this simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on, stirring regularly
so the paste binds together with the tomato.
5. Once the spaghetti is cooked, mix with the sauce and stir well. Serve with
some freshly chopped basil.
