Ingredients

Rapeseed oil, for frying

1 large red onion, sliced

3 sprigs fresh thyme

2 large aubergines, thickly sliced

1 fat courgette, thickly sliced

1 x 500g jar ASDA Creamy Tomato Pasta Bake

125g cherry tomatoes, halved

25g grated Parmesan or vegetarian hard cheese

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200C, fan 180C, gas 6.
2
Heat a little oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and 1 thyme sprig and cook for 6-7 minutes, until slightly softened. Remove to a plate and return the frying pan to the heat.
3
Fry the aubergine and courgette slices, in batches, for a couple of minutes a side, until light golden brown, adding a little more oil as needed.
4
Remove each batch to kitchen paper to drain as it’s done. Use two frying pans to speed up the process, if you have them.
5
Pour the sauce into a medium baking dish and spoon over the onions, discarding the whole thyme sprig.
6
Arrange the aubergine, courgette and cherry tomatoes in the dish, then scatter with the leaves from the remaining thyme. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until piping hot in the middle.
