Aubergine and courgette Parmigiana
Melt-in-the-mouth aubergines and courgettes in a dreamy tomato, olive oil and garlic sauce. I could cry with utter pleasure when eating this velvety unctuousness. Even better, you just layer it up and forget about it in the oven for 45 mins while you get on with sitting in the garden or watering your plants (in a beautiful fantasy world).

Instructions
Heat the oven to 160 degrees or 150 fan.
Shake or mix the passata, garlic, water and sugar together.
Drizzle olive oil over the base of a shallow oven dish then add a layer of sliced aubergine. Drizzle those with olive oil then add a thin layer of the tomato sauce and a good dose of dried mixed herbs. Now add a layer of courgettes, some sea salt and another layer of tomato sauce and dried herbs. Top that with fresh basil and 50g of grated Parmesan. Now do another set of layers just the same but minus fresh basil – finishing with the rest of the Parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake for 40-45 mins.
Et voila!
