In an intrinsically North Italian style of cooking, butter is used in this recipe as opposed to the olive oil seen exclusively in the South. Generous amounts of eggplant are slowly roasted in the oven to concentrate their flavours. Sweet and fresh tomatoes as the base, with heavily reduced red and white wine and a touch of chilli to open your palette and finished with butter for a comforting richness. Putting your meal together could not be simpler: cook your freshly made pasta in minutes, layer with melanzane ragu, finish with a sprinkling of Grana Padano and buon appetito. Serves 2.

Preparation
Bring the water to the boil in a large pot, salting it well. We suggest 1 litre of water per 100g of pasta and 2 teaspoons (10g) of salt per litre of water.
Blanch the pasta in the rapidly boiling water for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on your preference for an al dente texture.
Meanwhile, heat the sauce in a medium pan or saucepan. Bring it to a simmer, but turn off the heat before it reaches a boil.
Strain the pasta through a colander and toss gently through the sauce.
Arrange the pasta on a plate or in a bowl, spooning excess sauce over the top.
Sprinkle with pangrattato, torn sage leaves and grated or shaved cheese. Buon appetito!
Chef's Tip – Keep a cup of pasta water from the pot just before you strain the pasta. You can use it to adjust the consistency of the sauce, one tablespoon at a time. For added flavour and crispness shallow fry sage in oil until the bubbles stop.
