I'm always looking for different ways to prepare eggplant. This sounds good!

Bookmarked to save. This recipe sounds delicious and honestly, I have never used eggplant in my spaghetti recipes. I love Italian cuisine but I have a couple of picky eaters who do not like eggplant. Looks like I'll be cooking for 1 LOL
