Cooking Steps

1
  • Make holes with a fork in the eggplants.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a grilling pan or frying pan over medium-high heat and grill the eggplant for 30 - 40 minutes, or until fully charred and soft. Turn regularely.
2
  • When the eggplants have 15 minutes left, boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and cook the rigatoni for 13 - 15 minutes.
  • Reserve some of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
3
  • Crush or mince the garlic.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic 1 - 2 minutes. 
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, the smoked paprika and half of the BBQ spice rib. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. 
4
  • Cut open the eggplant lengthwise (careful, steam will come out).
  • With a fork, scrape out the flesh and discard the skin. Chop the flesh into smaller chunks.
  • Add the flesh to the tomato sauce and stir through.
  • Add the rigatoni and a splash of cooking liquid as preferred.
5
  • Chop the almonds. Chop the fresh basil. 
  • Melt a knob of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the almonds and the rest of the BBQ spice rub and fry for 1 - 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
