  1. one of my favorites. I make this almost once a week. As one reviewer suggested, I saute the eggplant and garlic with crushed red pepper. I usually use half a big can of crushed tomatoes and add a little italian seasoning. Love it.
     
  2. I added some crushed red pepper, which added some nice zip. This made a HUGE amount - there are just two of it, and we were eating it for days!
     
  3. This was a very good recipe and my parents and I really enjoyed it! The only thing I would say is because I used fresh tomatoes, it would be wise to strain the sauce just prior to serving in order to remove all the tomatoe skins that got rolled up whilst blendering. Other than that it was quite delicious and thank you for posting it! Made good use of my leftovers from eggplant parmesan too!
     
  4. The eggplant-tomato sauce was VERY good. We love it and will be holding on to this recipe. Thanks!
