Put some finely chopped garlic and parsley on to gently fry with a little extra virgin olive oil. Add the diced aubergine and fry over a high heat. Adjust for salt and cook until done. Set aside. Sweat the finely chopped onion in another pan in olive oil. Add the tomatoes, adjust the salt and cook for about ten minutes. At this point remove from the heat, add the ricotta and mix well. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water. Once cooked and drained, mix with the ricotta and tomato sauce. Add the diced aubergine and parmesan to taste, mix well and serve.
