    This is similar to my post on Sicilian spaghetti which I have in a cookbook. usually I create my own recipes as much as possible but this is so good! I only do the eggplant differently. Now about yours. I love the clams in there and have to try it. Zuchinni works good in this recipe as well as roasted red peppers layered in between.

    Inatalie, Eggplant is near and dear to my pallet as well as my heart. This recipe is well balanced and sooths both.
    Great post

    I have thought about using a whole rainbow of veggies like sweet potato, squash or zucchini. Hard to go wrong I think.

    This sounds great. Thanks!

    If I left the eggplant off would a counciliari make me an offer I can't refuse?
