step 1
Preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the pasta. Cook for 7 minutes, then drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water.
step 2
Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil (2 tbsp) in a large, deep frying pan. Tip in half the aubergine (2) along with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes, or until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and repeat with the remaining aubergine, then remove this too and set aside.
step 3
Turn the heat up to high and add a splash more olive oil (1 tbsp). When hot, add the peppers (2) and garlic (2 cloves) and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes (2 tins) and oregano (1 tsp) along with the reserved pasta water. Bring up to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes.
step 4
Add in the pasta (500 g), aubergines and basil (1 handful) (if using) and stir well. Season well with salt and pepper and stir again. Transfer the pasta to a 22 x 30cm roasting tin. Lay the mozzarella (250 g) over the pasta and grate over a little cheddar (80 g) or parmesan, if you like.
step 5
Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
