This recipe was delicious! I made it for a special occasion at home, and it was devoured. Added a few extra tomatoes and couple links of spicy Italian sausage to spice things up. Definitely recommend this one. it's completely with the effort!

This is a big hit! I would suggest just making your eggplant the usual way you would at home and just mix up the dressing. Saves on time. The first time I made this it was way too long..also left out the mint and stayed with the basil.

This was sadly the worst dinner I have ever made. Which is saying something, as I am a terrible cook, and usually rely on a solid recipe to get me past my own short comings. But this recipe is incomplete, and when fully assembled, is just not good.

It took me 4 hours to make- though I expected that from the instructions. It was SO not worth the effort though. At the end, you have an oddly minty pile of pasta and the other ingredients, that is overly oily.

Save yourself the time, and SKIP THIS!!!

The prep time was close to three hours, I hour to sweat eggplant, another hour to fry it all up, in several batches. One hour or more to marinate. then assemble. yikes. we didn't eat until 10:PM. Plus I had to use almost a whole roll of paper towels, to sweat & drain the eggplant, and mop off the stove.
Also; the recipe calls for 1 cup of grated parmasean cheese but then never tells you what to do with it. Some one must have goofed.
For all the time and effort it should have been the best thing I ever ate. It wasn't.
I give it a poor rating for time and messiness.

I don't understand how this recipe won an award. I followed it exactly as written. It was so full of oil, between the frying, marinating and then sprinkling with oil. I wound up throwing it away. The eggplant started out good, although the breadcrumb mixture was so much, I could have coated 2 or 3 eggplants. What a waste of food! Also, the sprinkled mozzerella on this cold dish, added nothing. It just did not work for me.

This is a very light and refreshing dish. The flavors are wonderful with the fried eggplant and the vinaigrette drizled over the pasta.

I really wanted to like this recipe because I like all of the ingredients. I've made other recipes from this episode, and I have to say that I'm surprised this dish won because it wasn't the best dish of those I made. We won't be making this one again.

My husband and I have been experimenting with eggplant and this is the first successful dish we've tried. The flavors were fantastic (I omitted the mint but am curious to try it with, it was light despite the fried eggplant, and the textures were great. There's a lot of inactive prep time (an hour to drain the eggplant and an hour to marinate it after it's fried but it's really easy to throw together. And because there's so little time at the stove, it's a great warm-weather dish.

I didn't make the recipe, but rather tried at a Fridays near me. This pasta dish was light and refreshing. It would be great, as the name suggests, for a meal on a warm day. If I made it, I would reduce the vinegar a bit. Other than that, I wouldn't alter anything. Try it, you'll like it.
