Ingredients
  

  • 300g/10½oz cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 aubergine/eggplant sliced into 1.5cm cubes
  • 1 large courgette/zucchini sliced into 1.5cm cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼-½ tsp dried chilli flakes to taste
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 200g/7oz block of feta
  • 300g/10½oz your favourite dried pasta shapes
  • 1 tbsp sliced fresh basil leaves optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200℃/180℃ fan (390℉/355℉).
  2. In a large roasting tray combine the tomatoes, courgette, aubergine and garlic. Drizzle over 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Sprinkle in the chilli flakes and mixed herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  3. Make a space for the feta and slot it into the middle of the roasting dish. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the feta.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Around 15 minutes before the vegetables are finished cooking add in your dried pasta. Cook until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
  6. Once the vegetables have finished roasting gently stir the vegetables to combine with the feta. Add splashes of pasta water to create a cohesive sauce.
  7. Add in your cooked pasta and basil (if using) and toss to combine. Serve hot.
