Description

Make this speedy penne caponata recipe in just 30 minutes, and enjoy a silky tomato and eggplant pasta sauce with punchy olives and capers.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange eggplant on tray and drizzle with half of the oil, tossing to coat. Bake for 20 minutes or until light golden and tender.

Step 2 of 4

Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion and celery for 10 minutes, stirring, or until softened. Add garlic, oregano, half of the parmesan, tomatoes, sultanas and 1/2 cup water, then bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes or until mixture has thickened slightly. Stir in eggplant, olives and vinegar.

Step 3 of 4

Meanwhile, cook penne in a saucepan of boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain.

Step 4 of 4

Add penne to caponata and toss well to combine. Divide pasta mixture among bowls. Serve scattered with parsley, capers and remaining parmesan.
