Preparation steps
Cut the aubergines into cubes and sprinkle with salt. Let them rest for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced aubergines and sauté until golden and tender.
Add the crushed tomatoes to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the rigatoni in salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions.
Once the rigatoni is cooked, drain and mix into the tomato and aubergine sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with ricotta and fresh basil.
