Pasta with eggplant sauce is a popular recipe with a wonderful blend of flavors and textures. I love that most of its ingredients come straight from my organic garden.
The sauce boasts a savory tomato base, with the earthy sweetness of sautéed eggplant. Garlic, red pepper, mushrooms, herbs, and a hint of spice add layers of flavors that tantalize the taste buds.
The beauty of this dish lies in its adaptability. You can adjust the spice level to your liking, add other vegetables, or top it with fresh basil or grated Parmesan cheese for a personalized touch.
Whether you’re a seasoned pasta connoisseur or a novice cook, pasta with eggplant sauce is a wonderful meal that deserves a spot on your dinner table. Its versatility, flavor, and nutritional value make it a dish that will excite your taste buds and nourish your body. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and start cooking.

Jenny, Amy used to go down to Uncle Lem’s and he would give her junk and she would sit on the porch and have a garage sale. She was probably 4 or 5 at the time. And you know how much traffic the end of Florin St would get! Anyway, I bought those plates from Amy at one of her sales. I loved that neighborhood because it was so quirky.
