Ingredients

  • 3 eggplants/aubergines
  • 300 g/10 oz ripe (but not squashy) tomatoes (Good canned tomatoes work fine for this sauce too)
  • 10-15 leaves fresh basil
  • Olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, squashed but left whole
  • 200 g ricotta cheese
  • Pasta quantities are very subjective, but for a light sauce such as this one, calculate 60-80 g/2-3 oz as a starter, or 140-160 g/5-6 oz as a main course.
