Yummy dinner tonight for DD and I thanks, Marra. I used goat's fetta and my only missing ingredient was the aubergine so I added extra red pepper and heaps of fresh basil. Made for Holiday Tag. -
Easy and very good! This made a nice dinner for one, with enough leftovers to be a side dish for one the next day. I couldn't find eggplant at my local grocery, so I substituted mushrooms instead. The only other change I made was to add some chopped garlic. The goat cheese really added a nice tang to this dish, without making it overly cheesy, and the pasta sauce added just enough moisture to keep the other ingredients from drying out in the oven. This is a definite make again, although I will add some herbs and seasonings next time. -
I made this for Freezer Tag 2008. I scaled it to 4 servings. I enjoyed the mix of vegetables and pasta. I did substitute cheddar cheese for the goats cheese (I live in China, and cheese is a bit of a delicacy). I'm sure its better with goats cheese--or even mozzarella. This also froze really well. I prepared it up to step 4 and then froze. I let it thaw in the refrigerator for a day and a half before baking. It probably took about 30 minutes to bake and get hot. -
Delicious simple and healthy recipe! Very much enjoyed. The goat's cheese is an exceptional addition.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
