I think that this recipe was great except for the eggplant. Mine was very spongy. I have never cooked eggplant, but I believe it needed to cook longer. Next time I will substitute with zucchini. Thanks for the recipe which is a great starting point for me.

Loved it!!! The only changes I made were to add a good deal more salt, and stirred in a ton of fresh basil just before serving. This is going in my tried and true file.

I used extra garlic-2 1/2 cloves, and it could have used more. But, nothing can have to much garlic in my house. It was Still Really Good Though

Great dish! Very tasty! Will definitely make again. I did not add onions or eggplant.

For the amount of prep, cooking and ckean-up the result was disappointing
