One of my favorite ways to eat eggplant! Use any small pasta in interesting shapes like bowties, rotini, or seashells.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggplant turned out mushy and the sauce was bland. I'm going to try this recipe again, but I'll follow the instructions more carefully this time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up with a sauce that was too thick and the eggplant was a bit overcooked.

The eggplant in this dish was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend roasting the eggplant for a shorter amount of time.
