Cheesy pasta and vegetable bake
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
4 small (240g) baby eggplants, cut
into 1cm slices
200g Swiss brown mushrooms, quartered
750g jar tomato and basil pasta sauce
1 cup (250ml) vegetable stock
300g short pasta (such as pipe rigate, elbows, shells, penne)
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ cup (40g) grated parmesan cheese
200g bocconcini, drained
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the eggplant and mushrooms, cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are browned lightly.
Add the pasta sauce and stock; cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender; drain.
Add the pasta, parsley and half the parmesan to the tomato sauce mixture; mix well.
Spoon mixture into a shallow 2.5-litre (10-cup capacity) ovenproof dish. Sprinkle the top with torn pieces of bocconcini and the remaining parmesan. Bake for about 20 minutes or until browned.
Serve with rocket salad, if desired.
