    I made this for last Christmas. It was worth every minute to make..so flavorful and creamy. I recommend it for someone with time to cook though. Summer has extra eggplant so it freezes well too. Try it! You'll be pleased.

    Delish! Next time I might use even more eggplant, as it cooked down a lot.

    This was yummy. My family ate it up. I do not like black olives yet I still ate this. The italian sausage we purchase has sweet basil in it so I did not add the fresh basil. I also have never bought crushed red peppers so that was absent but I think I would like to try this recipe with them. I would make this again. I like the idea of making ahead and cooking the white sauce and cheese prior to baking.

    I was looking forward to this dish--based on all the 5-star reviews. This dish is good but not great. The sauce has a good flavor with a bit of a bite. Much to time consuming for just okay/good.

    This is BY FAR my favorite dish! The flavor and texture is amazing and everyone who has it falls in love! Keep the pasta al dente and adjust the spice with the red pepper flakes and you will have the best dish you've ever made. I use a mixture of part hot italian sausage and part sweet sausage. And, of course, only fresh ingredients please. Boun Appetito

    This ziti is fantastic with or without the eggplant. Honestly, I make it without the eggplant because it's quicker. I make it the night before without the white sauce and just before putting it in the oven, I cover with white sauce and slices of fresh mozzarella and bake. It is amazing!!! Everyone will ask you for the recipe. It hasn't failed yet. I think the secret is the chopped black olives and how they make the sauce unique. I never would've thought!!! My Italian mother-in-law actually asked me for the recipe. I was quick to give Emeril kudos because she would've never believed I came up with it anyway.

    What sets this apart from many other pasta and sausage dishes is the wonderful eggplant.

    As with many of Emeril's recipes this was very time-consuming. I was exhausted by the time I put the casserole in the oven. However, the minute I tasted it, I knew it was worth the trouble. Delicious!

    Having read all the reviews, i had to try this dish and i was not disappointed! a few notes though: i used two eggplants as others suggested and cubed and roasted them on a cookie sheet at 375 for 1 hour. I used hot italian sausage because we like our food spicy so it was perfect for us. because of the extra eggplant, i also should have added another 14oz of tomatoes, will do that next time because it definitely wasnt saucy enough for me. i mixed the eggplant into the sausage mixture and then mixed the ziti in as well, it was so much easier than trying to layer it all.

    I can't wait to make this again! thanks emeril and all the reviewer!
