It was good--really no eggplant taste, because it cooks up so nicely. We used a whole pound of pasta, so to compensate, we used a big jar of spaghetti sauce. My husband thought it could have used more sauce still. We don't have the herbes de provence on hand, but we seasoned with a variety of Italian seasonings.
