    This is essentially Pasta a la Norma, a traditional Italian dish of eggplant and tomato sauce. I took quite a few liberties with this recipe, and perhaps that's why it didn't blow me over. Essentially, chopped eggplant is sauteed in olive oil, then combined with the Southern Tomato Sauce (reviewed separately), grated cheese (I used parmesan) and fresh oregano (I subbed basil as there was no oregano in the market). I used penne instead of laganari. It was a good-enough dish, but I expected more. I think it needed more olive oil, and I wish the tomato sauce had more depth, or perhaps I would have preferred it made with fresh tomatoes instead of canned. I wouldn't repeat but will instead seek out other versions of this dish.
