3 tins/cartons 400g Chopped tomatoes
1 very finely sliced garlic clove
Thinly sliced olives (optional)

2 teaspoons oregano (dried)

50g Parmesan cheese (grated)
Salt to taste

Around 400g Paccheri Rigati Pasta - judge how much you will want (I use Giuseppe Paccheri Rigati pasta, but a large rigatoni is also okay)

Here is how you make MAMA'S PASTA - GORGEOUS Vegetarian pasta dish:

1. Prepare all vegetables. - Aubergine should be sliced and left scattered in salt to sweat - then rinse off in water. 2. Add the chopped tomatoes to a large saucepan on a low heat. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper into it, and leave to simmer. (This is the time to add the sliced olives if you want to!)3. Slowly cook the sliced red onion and garlic clove in a frying pan on low heat, with a little low cal oil. When soft and smelling delicious, add to the tomatoes.4. Again, cook the zucchini in the same way, then add to the tomatoes. - Begin boiling water in separate pan.5. Add the basil, oregano, around 25g parmesan and a little dried garlic and stir in. Taste, and add more to your preference. Add more salt or pepper if you feel to. - ADD PASTA TO BOILING WATER NOW. 6. Cook the Aubergines in the same way, a few at a time until they are soft and looking lovely! - Add to sauce. 7. Keep the sauce simmering on a low heat for a further 10 minutes or so, just to get the flavours to come through a bit more. Keep tasting and adding anything else if needed, more garlic, basil and parmesan make it even more gorgeous. If you let it simmer a while the taste will be stronger, but if you are in more of a rush, it's still lovely only simmered for a short while!8. Remove from heat and drain pasta, leave to stand for a minute. 9. Place around 6-7 tubes of pasta (or however many you prefer) to a pasta bowl.10. Spoon a portion of the sauce on top of the centre of the pasta.11. Place the 2 teaspoons (you can add more later if desired) chilled mascarpone cheese onto the centre of the sauce. Place two basil leaves on top of the cheese (and scatter with remaining parmesan if you like).12. ENJOY MAMA'S PASTA !!!!Serving Size:?Enough for 4, maybe 5.
