Methods
Prep time: 30 mins / Cook time: 30 mins.
METHOD
1
Pre heat a fan forced oven to 220°C.
2
Place a large pot of salted water over a high heat and once it has come to the boil, add the pasta and cook for 10 to 12 minutess or until al dente. Strain and then spread out onto a tray, drizzle with ¼ cup of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and allow to cool.
3
Place the sliced pumpkin evenly onto a lined baking tray, coat with ¼ cup of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkle with a good pinch of sea salt. Place into the oven a bake for 10 minutes, then drizzle over the Verjuice and sprinkle over the rosemary. Bake for a further 5 minutes or until cooked through and a little bit caramelised (this timing will depend on your oven). Remove and set aside.
4
Reduce the oven to 180°C. Place a large non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Add ¼ cup of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and once hot, add half the amount of eggplant and fry on each side for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place onto kitchen towel and then repeat with the remaining olive oil & eggplant.
5
To compile the pasta bake, line a loaf tin with baking paper. Place 3 tablespoons of the sugo on the base and spread out, then a layer of the cooked pasta, then ¾ cup of the sugo, half the amount of pumpkin & eggplant, then repeat this process until all ingredients are used.
6
Sprinkle with the parmesan, then cover with foil and place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 15 to 20 mins or until the parmesan is golden brown.
7
Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 mins before serving and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Maggie's Kitchen Notes:
All my recipes are cooked with a fan forced (convection) oven, increase by 20°C for conventional. My recipes use 20ml tablespoons and 5ml teaspoons, look carefully at your measuring spoons as American spoons are often on sale and they are a smaller measure. All produce are medium sized and all eggs are from an extra large carton (700g).
