A friend has been encouraging me to eat more pasta so I went out for aubergines, leeks and walnuts. On the way back, I took a new route home and stumbled across a walnut tree shedding its wares in the most unlikely corner of a heavily-paved council estate. Felt a little joy on the way home.

Top with more torn basil, then enjoy homemade pasta, finish the red wine and offer a grateful prayer to the person who invented sofrito. /fin

Scoop the aubergine flesh with a spoon and chop briefly. Add this and the blended tomatoes to the main dish and season as required with salt and pepper. Finally, add chopped mushrooms and heat through as you prepare your pasta separately.

Chop up six fresh tomatoes and three cloves of garlic, and blend these down. Add some torn basil and sage (note: you can use dried as below, and you could conceivably add these before blending, but that would require organisation).

Place a pierced aubergine in the oven for 40 mins. Fry the sofrito in olive oil on a high heat, and when it is translucent, turn down the heat and add a generous tablespoon of tomato paste and another gochujang. Add a glug of cheap Merlot (darling, we’re not really middle class) and simmer.

My walk home last night was delightful. Lots of people enjoying the sunset on the heath.
