    This recipe was perfect,the balance of ingredients was outstanding. We need more "other than red" sauces. In my opinion this dish was luscious,delicious,tasty w/melt in your mouth eggplant. Try it on crusty bread,marinate shrimp and grill and mangia. I can imagine a farm house in Tuscany and being served this rustic dish

    Loved this pasta : Pleased my whole family and my vegitarian sister. Added mushrooms for extra flavor, but it was the pesto that really made this dish yummy.

    I love this eggplant dish! First tried it last year and fell in love then! We have a large garden and because I adore eggplant, I have 14 plants and make it in lots of different ways, this year I love the recipe even more! I use spinach, sometimes, instead of basil, but still add some basil for extra flavor, LOVE IT!!! (: Antoinette

    Was very quick, easy and delicious as well as presentable. Only 4 rating since I altered original recipe. I sliced the eggplant 1/2 inch thick and grilled it in a grill pan. This method requires less oil. Then gently cut eggplant into medium size pieces so it doesn't disintegrate when mixed with pasta. Adds a mild smokey flavor. Substituted spinach for the basil and added 1/2 diced fresh tomatoe at the end.

    This one didn't work for us. Way too much oil, eggplant not cooked long enough. Normally I love Giada's recipes. This one, we did not.
