Pasta with aubergine & tomato sauce

You'll need two cans of tomatoes instead of one, and we used mascarpone instead of ricotta.

Edited 25 January 2018: Bake the aubergines instead of frying them, saves you a lot of work. Although my kids (my son) liked the dish as a whole, neither particularly enjoyed the aubergines, and I do understand why - as a child, I wouldn't have liked them either (slimy texture, gah!). Just remember to serve with sonething extra in the side, i.e. bell pepper slices, and tell them to ignore the aubergine.
