First recipe - Peasant Pasta

I looked in the cupboard and fridge and this is all I had: one aubergine, a lemon, an onion, 2 bits of garlic, pasta, a tiny bit of pesto sauce, cream cheese, a tin of chickpeas, a piece of dried Parmesan and salt and pepper.

This is how I made my peasant pasta:

• Fry onions until golden, add garlic and thinly sliced aubergines. 
• Fry til golden, with olive oil if possible. Add butter to enrich!
• Boil water for pasta and cook till al-dente (almost done) then drain and cool with plenty of cold water. 
• Leave the pasta until you're ready to add to sauce (It's important to do this as otherwise it just continues to cook and will be disgusting).
• Meanwhile, add chickpeas to the sauce, then the pesto, some warm water and cream cheese. Keep cooking. Add lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper too.
• Gently keep cooking sauce.
• The drained, cooled pasta then needs to go back in the pan. Add the sauce, heat through and serve on warm dishes (from the microwave). 
• If possible, have a simple salad ready. Make this with lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes with a simple dressing of olive oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper and mustard if you have them. 

That's it! they all loved it! have full tummies and it weren't half bad!

Tomorrow, I'll see what I have and let you know!
