step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Arrange the aubergine (1) and pepper (1) on a large (35cm x 40cm) deep roasting tray with the tomatoes (350 g) and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and starting to char.
step 2
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta (350 g) for 9-10 minutes or until al dente.
step 3
While the pasta is cooking, stir the tapenade (1 jar), lentils (1 jar) and balsamic vinegar (1 tbsp) into the tray with the veg. Re-fill the tapenade jar halfway with water, swirl it around, and stir into the tray. Pop back in the oven for 5 minutes to warm through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 4
Remove the roasted veg from the oven. Using a slotted spoon, drain the pasta and add directly to the roasting tray, tossing to coat. Add a spoonful of pasta cooking water if needed to help create a glossy sauce. Garnish with the fresh basil (5 g) and serve.
