Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute penne pasta for ziti pasta, canned diced tomatoes and canned crushed tomatoes for fresh tomatoes.

    Agreed with Smokeydoke -- it is expensive and time-consuming. But my family loved this meal and we will definitely be making it again!

    Very expensive (for pasta) very time-consuming meal. I agree with anya, it did not wow me, but I'm not a pasta-person. My husband loved it. It's vegetarian but it's not healthy!

    I did not try reducing the oil for the eggplant, as I did not think it would work (well, maybe you could do 3/4 c.). I needed to reduce the heat to medium-low when cooking the eggplant. I did reduce the oil in the tomato sauce to 2 Tbsp, which was plenty. I also used only a bit of red pepper flakes, since my kid doesn't like spicy food. If you are OK with spicy, I recommend using the stated amount, as I believe Pasta alla Norma is supposed to have a kick. The baking time and/or temperature seems to be off, as the pasta started to burn at the edges after 30 minutes. I turned the oven down to 350 and baked it for another 10-15 minutes. The pasta was good, but did not wow me as I was hoping.
