What I love about Giada's recipes is that they are simple, take little time and dishes to dirty, and are unique and tasty! This recipe is no exception! I used Roma tomatoes that I had on hand, and just quartered them, and I also sauteed some ground turkey with onions and garlic..and some Worchestershire sauce - and added to the pasta (for protein. I didn't want to go shopping, so I used whole wheat fusili pasta that I had. YUMMY! You *must* be a pretty big fan of eggplant if you want to try this dish. The distinct eggplant flavor is prominent, which I love, but others may not. It's such an easy and quick dish to make, that completely satisfied and comforted me on a cold night. Not to mention, it's healthy! I will definitely be making this again. :- Thanks, Giada!

Really wonderful recipe, the mint adds a great kick. It's very good the next day, too...cold as a pasta salad.

I loved this recipe! I saw it on tv and then decided to make it for my parents! They were very impressed with it considering that i'm only twelve.

The receipe was fairly easy to make. My teenagers enjoyed the extra heat and even my 5 year old niece asked for a second helping.

I took a lot of suggestions from everyone's reviews and used an onion, red pepper and basil. It was great! It made enough for me to freeze half for later - hopefully it will be just as good then.

I changed a few things in the recipe to our tastes but it was a great base recipe to build on! I omitted the mint and added fresh thyme and rosemary to the roasting vegetables. I also added a little ricotta to the pureed mixture and some parsely. I didn't puree all of the vegetables just so there would be a little variation in texture.

Being tired a the same old pasta and sauce dish led me to try this recipe. WOW!! It was such a welcome twist, the flavors were amazing and it was very easy to prepare!!
