- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the aubergine and fry for 8-10 mins until golden, soft and translucent. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water for 10-12 mins until tender, then drain.
- Stir the pasta sauce into the aubergine along with 50ml water and bring to a gentle simmer over a medium low heat for 8-10 mins.
- Put the chorizo in a separate nonstick frying pan, then place over a medium heat. Cook for 5-6 mins, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp and oil from the chorizo has been released into the pan. Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and fry for a further 4-5 mins, stirring continually, until crisp and golden.
- Stir the pasta into the aubergine pan. Scatter over some of the chorizo crumbs and serve with the cheese and more chorizo crumbs alongside to sprinkle over at the table.
