preparation
step 1
In a pan put a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, diced aubergines, halved cherry tomatoes, capers and onion all together. You can fry the onion in the oil, I avoided it so as not to weigh the sauce too much and to keep it very light.
step 2
Cook the sauce over high heat and with the lid closed for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If necessary add half a glass of water.
step 3
Meanwhile, in a pot with boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
step 4
Check the sauce with the aubergines, I advise not to cook them very much, they must be soft but not crushed. Salt and pepper to taste.
step 5
Drain the pasta and stir in the pan with the aubergines for a few seconds. Serve and garnish with 2 parsley leaves. If you want you can add a very light sprinkling of grated cheese to flavor. Enjoy your meal!
