Ingredients
3 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, roughly chopped, plus 2 tbsp of their oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 carrot, coarsley grated
1 large aubergine, cut into 2cm cubes
3 sprigs thyme
1 tbsp tomato purée
¼ tsp ground allspice
180g wholegrain spelt spaghetti
Handful basil leaves and toasted flaked almonds, to serve
Method
1 Put the 2 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil in a large lidded sauté pan or casserole over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, then fry for 2 minutes. Add the carrot, aubergine, sun-dried tomatoes and thyme. Season, cover and fry for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until everything has softened.
