Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Finely chop the garlic. Cut the zucchini into 2cm chunks. Cut the eggplant into 2cm chunks. Slice the red onion into 2cm wedges.

Roast the veggies
2

Spread the zucchini, eggplant, onion, cherry tomatoes and garlic & herb seasoning on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Cook the fusilli
3

While the veggies are roasting, cook the fusilli in the boiling water and cook until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (¼ cup for 2 people / ½ cup for 4 people), then drain and return the pasta to the saucepan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and cover to keep warm.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Make the sauce
4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the garlic and fennel seeds, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the passata, vegetable stock pot, brown sugar and reserved pasta water and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.

TIP: Fennel is a strong flavour, use less if you're not a fan.

Bring it all together
5

Add the fusilli, roasted veggies and butter into the pan. Crumble 1/2 the fetta over the fusilli. Stir to combine.

Serve up
6

Divide the roasted eggplant and fennel fusilli between bowls. Crumble over the remaining fetta. Tear over the basil.
