Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the aubergine and fry for 8-10 mins until golden, soft and translucent. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water for 10-12 mins until tender, then drain.
Stir the pasta sauce into the aubergine along with 50ml water and bring to a gentle simmer over a medium low heat for 8-10 mins.
Put the chorizo in a separate nonstick frying pan, then place over a medium heat. Cook for 5-6 mins, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp and oil from the chorizo has been released into the pan. Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs and fry for a further 4-5 mins, stirring continually, until crisp and golden.
Stir the pasta into the aubergine pan. Scatter over some of the chorizo crumbs and serve with the cheese and more chorizo crumbs alongside to sprinkle over at the table.
