Notes
Don't forget to salt the eggplants well to remove bitterness before cooking. This recipe is fantastic for impressing your guests. You can also try adding black olives or herbs like rosemary to vary the flavors. Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. For an even richer taste, consider mixing in a bit of cream or mascarpone into the sauce before incorporating it with the pasta.
