This sauce was very tasty!! We ate it as a side dish and on top of baked chicken cutlets - not mixed with pasta. It is very hearty.
I used 1.5 medium eggplants, 5 plum tomatoes, about 5 cloves of garlic, a handful of cilantro (no basil at my market today dried oregano, some store-bought pesto (about 2 tbsp and just a few shakes of parmigiana, plus the red chili flake, evoo, s/p. The cooking time was pretty spot-on. Very easy to make. I read other reviews that said to increase the salt and flavoring a bit - so I did. My husband loved it and so did I. I can think of tons of things to do with this sauce (mix with cooked ground chicken or beef, use as a dip with veggies or pita, etc and am so glad I tried it! Thanks, Giada!

This is reallly good! My first time EVER cooking an eggplant, I wasn't sure if I would like it but it was delicious. Used fresh basil from the herb garden instead of mint. Will be making again.

As Giada would say...CREAMY! It is so good, so easy and is a little unusual with the mint.
It is so thick it feels like a meat sauce but you know it is good for you. Red pepper flakes add kick and I did not even bother with pine nuts. I will definitely make again for company!

My hubby and I are vegan, so I am always looking for tasty veggie recipes to try. We left off the cheese, didn't have any mint in the house, but still this was an awesome dish! I've added it to our recipe favorites. I hadn't thought of pureeing eggplant and using it as a sauce. We love eggplant, but usually it has a bite to it and raises bumps on my tongue, but not with this recipe! It was smooth and very tasty. Thanks, Giada. PS: My hubby doesn't cook, but he likes to watch your cooking shows and often tells me we should try something you've made. Thanks for getting him interested in food! Both of you challenge me to try new dishes. Laurie.

This was actually very good. The only thing different is I added a bit more garlic but other than that it was very tasty. You can taste the eggplant the tomato and the mint. It was a perfect balance of all the ingredients. Just make sure you season your veggies prior to roasting them - so their flavor comes out! Great job Giada, AGAIN!

This recipe isn't worth the time or ingredients. Very bland, needs to be adjusted. I'm wondering if Giada would eat this? I don't think so.

this was extremely bland, and I felt like I was eating baby food. I did not like this recipe at all.

This was a super easy recipe to follow and modify with great results! I roasted two small eggplants, 6 plum tomatoes and one large onions and fresh garlic. Instead of mint, I used dried basil and italian seasonings. My roommate and her family loved it!
