I've just got some bolognese out from the freezer so will either turn that into a sort of lasagne or have it with pasta.

I've gone a bit off-piste from the original (Hello Fresh) recipe for this, so that I could use up some leftover bits and bobs from the fridge. 

Dice aubergine and red pepper, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper then roast in a hot oven for about twenty minutes while you drink a glass of wine. This bit is important   Then in a large pan (I use a very heavy non stick wok), very gently fry a couple of crushed garlic cloves in a little oil. In the blender, whizz together one red chilli, half a dozen or so sundried tomatoes from a jar, and two ready cooked (not pickled) beetroot. Add this to the pan with the garlic and fry gently to just warm it through and release the aromas. Have another glass of wine. Well, I had to finish what was left in the bottle, didn't I?  Add the roasted aubergine and pepper into the pan, add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a squirt of tomato paste, some shredded fresh basil leaves and cook on a very low simmer for about 10 mins. I have reached that stage now - I will add a bunch of finely chopped chives, some grated Parmesan and the cooked fresh linguine then sprinkle with chopped walnuts, more Parmesan and chopped chives just before serving. That's in half an hour just time to crack open another bottle of wine. There may have been other seasonings in there, I can't remember now.

I will regret all this wine when I am on that 7.00am video conference call tomorrow morning, but hey ho!
