Tips & Tricks

Ingredients
- 2 eggplants, cut into 2cm chunks
- 1 tub Pams Finest Bruschetta with Olives & Capers
- 3 cloves Pams Garlic, finely sliced
- 1 tsp Pams Crushed Chilli
- 1 tin Pams Diced Italian Basil and Oregano Tomatoes
- 1 pack Pams Fresh Fettuccine
Method
- Mix the eggplant with a good lug of olive oil, season well with salt and pepper, then toss to evenly coat the eggplant.
- Fry the eggplant in a single layer for 5 minutes over a medium heat, or until softened and golden, stirring occasionally. If your frying pan is on the smaller side, you may need to do this in batches.
- Add the garlic and chilli to the pan, fry for a further 2 minutes, then add the bruschetta mix.
- Add the tomatoes and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until thick and glossy. Break up any chunks of tomatoes with a spoon for a smoother sauce.
- While the sauce is simmering, cook the fettuccine as per packet instructions. Divide between 4 bowls and top with the sauce.
