I have made this recipe many times now and my wife and I both enjoy it. It is pretty simple and can be a meal by itself or used as a side dish. My wife usually doesn't like eggplant as often as I do, but always enjoys this dish. You can also make extra puree and use as topping for pizza or flatbread instead of your regular pizza sauce.

I love this easy sauce! I made it exactly as written but I like some of the suggestions also given in the reviews. My family, who refuse to eat eggplant, will eat this sauce. I think you could serve this as a dip or over chicken with melted cheese. Lots of options and flavors make this a wonderful change up from traditional marinara.

I made sum adjustments and it ended up really inexpensive,lots of food and tasted great! I used half cup of can tomato pree in the blender with the roasted eggplant(a whole one,a roasted carrot,one roasted garlic clove,then pureed all together til smooth,adding a little more tomato puree as needed til smooth. Add a tablespoon of kosher salt and a tablespoon of olive oil to the puree while pureeing.Pour over whole wheat boiled pasta of your choice with a little of the pasta water.It was great tasting just like this but to kick it up I sprignled sum romano cheese on top,put in the oven for 10 mins,then tried it-great! The eggplant puree is very useful ans sweet savory versatile vegetarian friendly sauce.

So good and easy to make. I'm actually thinking of using that puree as a dip/spread for dinner party. However, I didn't use mint, just not a fan of mint.
Thank you Giada!

I've tried this recipe twice and enjoyed it both times. Most recently substituited basil for mint, excellent! Be sure to save the pasta water, needed 1-1.5 cups to create the "sauce".

Excellent pasta dish! Only change I made was to use basil leaves in place of the mint- like that better with eggplant. Also threw in some chopped parsley. Will make this again and again.

The mint was heavy handed and over powered the dish. We enjoyed this, but will only put one maybe two mint leaves in next time if any. I watch the show and grabbed a little less mint then Giada did. I know it was way less then ¼ cup. My advice; drop the mint and you will love this dish. Pare it with the Roasted Cauliflower with Parmesan and Pancetta also from the same show and you will have an excellent dinner.
