Mafaldine with Mushrooms and Aubergine

It was quite a while ago that I tried new pasta recipe at home. But this one touched my soul so much!:) All those flavours are just exactly what I like. So I have to share the recipe here!
Earthy flavours of mushrooms, aubergine and walnuts combine so well in this easy to prepare pasta. Recipe is adapted from Dutch cooking magazine.
