Aubergine, chilli & bacon pasta

I make numerous variations of ingredients in this recipe. It's great to use up whatever is in the fridge. Pretty much any meat and most vegetables work well.

Simply, tasty and healthy. What is not to like!

Extremely forgettable, tasted of nothing but chopped tomatoes. Maybe if you reduce the amount of tomatoes and increase everything else it would taste better but as it stands this just tastes like a 'first year of uni' meal.

Lovely recipe, used to make it all the time exactly as it is until going vegetarian. Recently tried again using cubes of halloumi fried until crispy with a teaspoon of smoked paprika to replace the bacon and was really happy with the results.

Nice! I used one aubergine and one cubed courgette as that’s what was in the pantry! Well received by the family!
