Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: These ingredients easily feed the four of us (my husband and the two kids):; 250g of pasta (whatever kind you like, I usually use fusilli); 200g Peppadew peppers (I usually use mild, for the kids, but hot ones work just as well); 150g asparagus spears, chopped; 100g sun-dried tomatoes, sliced; 100g salami, chopped (you can leave this out for a vegetarian dish - it's just as tasty without); 50g black olives, pitted and halved; 5 tablespoons of olive oil; 1 dessert spoon of lemon juice; 1 small aubergine, thinly sliced; A good handful of chopped fresh parsley.

The method's easy as anything:
2
1. Cook your pasta. You don't need me to tell you how to do that, I'm sure.
3
2. Heat half the oil in a frying pan, then add the aubergines and fry until they're golden and tender.
4
3. Brush your Peppadews with the remaining oil and add to the pan. Fry them for around one or two minutes.
5
4. Mix the lemon juice and parsley all together to make a dressing and then pour it over the pasta, along with the salami, olives, asparagus, aubergines and sun-dried tomatoes.
6
5. Toss it all through and then leave it over the heat until it's all warm.
7
6. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and, if you like (as I very much do) a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
8
Quick, easy and utterly yummy.

This is just one of the ways the family and I have been enjoying Peppadews recently. They really are a revelation!
