This Italian veggie cottage pie is a fantastic brand-new meal to liven up your midweek repertoire.

Ingredients

2 aubergines, cut into chunks

2 large garlic cloves, crushed

16 sundried tomatoes, roughly chopped, plus 1 tbsp of their oil

2 tsp dried oregano

400g spinach, washed

50g plain flour

400ml milk

125g cheddar, grated, plus extra to top

800g ready-made mashed potatoes (fresh not frozen)

Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large, lidded frying pan or flameproof casserole dish. Cook the aubergine, in two batches, over a high heat for 4-5 mins until golden, adding extra oil as you need to. Return all the aubergine to the pan with the garlic, tomatoes and 11/2 tsp oregano and cook for 1 min. Stir in the spinach, put the lid on the pan and leave for a few mins to wilt.

  2. Add the flour and stir through until combined. Pour in the milk, stir gently and bring to the boil. Bubble for a few mins, then stir in the cheese and season. Cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened.

  3. Mix the mash with the remaining oregano and spread over the filling. Scatter over a little more grated cheese and bake for 10-15 mins until golden.
