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.
