Ingredients
  

  • 400 g wholewheat Penne pasta
  • 2 400g plum tomatoes tins
  • 1 bunch of fresh basil
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
  • 2 fresh chilies
  • 1 tbsp of maple syrup
  • 1 aubergine
  • 15 black olives pitted and halved
  • 1 tbsp of dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • Get the pasta into a pot of boiling water and cook according to instructions. 
  • Peel the garlic and finely chop the garlic and chilies. Leave the seeds in from the chilies for extra heat, otherwise remove. Chop up the aubergine. 
  • Put a pan on a medium to high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic, chilies and aubergine. Stir once they start to sizzle so nothing sticks to the pot. 
  • After two minutes add the plum tomatoes to the pan. Bash them up with a wooden spoon until they have reached the desired chunky pasta sauce. 
  • Add the cider vinegar, maple syrup, oregano and olives, and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for about ten minutes, stirring regularly. 
  • Add the basil and give a stir. 
  • Add the cooked and drained pasta to the pot, mix thoroughly with the sauce and serve.
