Aubergine and chestnut ragu

This is a nice vegetarian alternative to a meat ragu. The chestnuts have a lovely sweetness about them which goes well with the tomatoes and they also give it a really nice thick texture.

Steps

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Chop the aubergine into cubes. Season and lightly coat in olive oil. Roast in the oven for 20 mins.

Meanwhile finely slice the onion and fry over a medium heat in a heavy based pan until soft (approx 10 minutes). Then add the finely chopped garlic and chipotle chilli and fry for another minute.

Add the chopped tomatoes (I used half fresh and half a can of tinned that I had leftover) and simmer for 5 minutes.

Then add the remaining ingredients - the chestnuts, roasted aubergine which should now be cooked and the lentils. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Finally add the roughly torn basil leaves and serve with pasta and Parmesan cheese.
