  1. Cut the aubergines into chunky cubes, sprinkle them with some salt, and let them sit for 20 minutes. Dry them off with kitchen paper, pressing lightly.1 lb aubergines/ 450 g + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  2. Saute: Peel the garlic cloves, smash them slightly, but leave them whole. Heat the olive oil in a wide, non-stick pan and add the garlic cloves. Turn the heat to low and fry the garlic, stirring often, until it starts to sizzle and smell. Don't let it burn.3 garlic cloves + 6 tablespoons olive oil
  3. Add the aubergines, stir to coat them in oil, and cook on medium heat until translucent and soft.
  4. Simmer: Add the chopped dried tomatoes, herbs, and stock. Bring everything to a boil, cover the pan, leaving a crack open, and let cook for about 20 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and the aubergines are very soft. If there is too much liquid left in the pan by the time the aubergines are soft, just take away the lid and let the sauce bubble for a little while longer.2 tablespoons dried tomatoes + 2 sprigs thyme + 1 cup vegetable / 250 ml
  5. Cook pasta: While the sauce is cooking, start cooking the spaghetti.1 lb spaghetti/ 450 g
