This dish was delicious. If you are going for a delicious but light meal, this is the one. I added a little extra parsley and a little extra wine to give it some extra flavor, which worked out perfectly. The flavors of the sophisticated eggplant, tart cherry tomatoes, fresh parsley, pasta and tender swordfish blended together beautifully. It really made you feel like you were in Sicily, in a restaurant near the beach. Anyone who says that it wasn't excellent must have made it wrong, or simply doesn't enjoy this type of food. Thanks, Giada!

I wanted a light meal for my Easter dinner, and I saw Giada prepare this dish on her program. I followed the recipe exactly and it was way too bland! I added two tablespoons of Classico's sun-dried tomato pesto and the dish came alive with flavor.

This was excellent. The eggplant really soaked the flavor, and the red pepper flakes gave it a subtle kick. Also made great leftovers the next day for a cold pasta salad. Swordfish was a bit pricey, $14.95/lb. however at a restaurant it would have been more expensive and less healthy.

I really enjoyed this dish with a couple of changes. First as others who have reviewed this dish mentioned, I halved the pasta amount. Second, instead of flat leaf parsley I added a couple of tablespoons of fresh thyme in both places. The thyme really adds punch that is probably missing with flat leaf parsley. I will make this again.

Made this last night and well......I was a little under whelmed. I will make this again because the "bones" of the recipe is easy, healthy and has potential with a few changes. It needs more flavor...will add much more garlic and not add all the pasta. A critical mistake.....too much pasta took away the flavor from the dish.
I used regular eggplant not those Japanese kind....that was no problem. I like the idea of chicken or even shrimp!!! Will try that next time.

This recipe is tasty and simple but the eggplant doesn't get cooked in 5 minutes. It absorbs all the oil and stays bitter. Will make it again without the eggplant.

My boyfriend and I thought this meal was so-so. It was a bit expensive to make and it needed more flavor. Maybe more garlic or something. I love swordfish and eggplant, so I thought I would love the combo. It was a different way to have penne, but not my favorite.
