1. Toss fresh basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, pine nuts,
salt and olive oil into a food processor to make basil pesto. Some prefer a
smooth and creamy pesto while others relish a chunkier texture, so tweak your
processor’s settings to taste.
2. Toss spaghetti in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of pesto and
garlic, and then add 5 slices of bread crumbed eggplant.
3. Garnish with rocket leaves and sautéed garlic breadcrumbs
for more flavour. Go easy on the garlic if you’re sharing this dish with
younger children.
