Whip up a quick and vibrant summer dish to keep those holiday vibes going strong as the new year kicks into gear.
Ingredients:
  • 2 chorizo sausages, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 small red onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 eggplant, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 400g tomato medley mix (see note)
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 375g linguine
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 125.00 ml roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large, deep frying pan over high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add chorizo and cook for 1 minute until browned. Incorporate garlic, onion, and eggplant, and sauté for 5 minutes until eggplant begins to soften. Stir in tomatoes and chilli flakes, and cook for another 5 minutes until tomatoes are soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 7 minutes or until al dente. Reserve 80ml (1/3 cup) of the cooking water before draining.
  • Combine the pasta and reserved cooking water with the eggplant mixture over medium–high heat for 3 minutes until heated through. Finish by adding lemon juice and parsley, stirring well.
  • Serve pasta in individual bowls and generously drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
