Preparation
- Prepare the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet.
- Cut the aubergines into evenly sized slices. Heat a frying pan over medium-high to high heat and add oil. If necessary, fry the aubergine slices in batches until browned and cooked on both sides. Remove them from the pan and season with salt and pepper. When frying aubergine it is important not to let the slices dry out so that the flesh remains nice and soft.

- When the spaghetti is ready, mix it with the tomato sauce and serve with the fried aubergine. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (if using).
