Today I was feeling less than Nigella, but thankfully, this meal was SUPER easy (and really only required chopping, boiling and heating things through). The only tough part was the eggplant, because our knives seem to be rapidly growing dull and the eggplant needed to be chopped into 1/2 inch pieces.
So here we are again cutting board...I bested you once, and I will do it again!
Whilst the pasta was draining and the "sauce" was warming, I cut up 1/2 lb of mozzarella (which was not "fresh", as the recipe called for, but there was a limit to my searching abilities that day) and finely chopped some fresh mint (which, I learned later, was a waste of time).
And we have arrived at the finish line, intact (with all fingers accounted for - huzzah!).
Here is the final product, which tasted like a cheesy, tomato-y, minty dream.
I would tend to agree, but I like the freshness of the mint, so I would keep it, but only if I had some lying around AND I would add a little less. I would also add more red pepper flakes; they seemed non-existent as is.
PS - At both of our workplaces, J and I were asked if our meals were takeout! Victory :)
