There are so many quick and delicious recipes that can be created with this brilliant combo of tomatoes, aubergines and Grana Padano cheese that the list could be endless.
\nThese spaghetti rolls became an instant Sunday classic in my household as they please everyone, my toddler daughter that is in the middle of eating-only-spaghetti phase to my mum who doesn\u2019t feel like it is Sunday without a baked dish, and believe me, this is much quicker and easier than a lasagne!
\nChef\u2019s tips: you can either peel or not the aubergine, the dish won\u2019t change but if you make any trimmings from the smaller slices, try to chop them up, pan fry them and incorporate into the tomato sauce.<\/h4>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”90%” custom_margin=”-19px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”6px|||||” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Ingredienti” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|700|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add in the flour. Cook for a couple of minutes while stirring, on a medium heat until the roux (mix of butter and flour) is golden. Then pour in the milk and bring to the boil, while whisking vigorously. Boil for 2 minutes and then remove from the heat. The b\u00e9chamel should be now ready, creamy and with no lumps. Stir in the grated Grana Padano cheese, until smooth. Season carefully with salt (as the cheese will have already made the b\u00e9chamel tasty) and a little black pepper. Set aside.

\nSeason with salt and pepper and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
\nBreak the tomatoes while stirring with a wooden spoon.
