Instructions
1 Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, saving ½ cup pasta water.
2 Meanwhile, make sauce. Spray a large pan with oil and set over a medium-high heat. Add spring onion and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, until browned.
3 Add eggplant to pan and spray again with a little oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until eggplant is very soft.

5 Serve pasta garnished with remaining parmesan, black pepper and herbs of your choice.
HFG tip
Wondering what to do with the other half of the eggplant?
Score the top, spread with a thin layer of miso and sriracha and roast in the oven. Serve as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish.
