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

Great recipe! I can hardly ever get my fiancé to eat veggies, but he loved this dish. It was his first time eating eggplant EVER!!! I did "stir-fry" the vegetables quite a bit longer than the recipe called for. Also, I found that I actually wanted the sauce a bit thicker. A cornstarch slurry easily remedied this. Thanks for a great dinner!

As a born and bred Italian, this was so easy to make and was delicious without changing a thing! It was a very robust tasting meal. My 10 year old didn't care for it as much as the husband did but I will definitely add this to this list of things to make again!! Thank you for the wonderful dinner recipe!!

I've just started "learning" to cook (I'm about to get married and feel a little pressure to branch out from my lone grilled chicken and veggie staple), and this recipe was easy and delicious! I'm American, but living in Belgium and I probably got my conversions wrong, but it came out a lot more sauce-y than what I think a stir-fry should be. Next time I will reduce the liquid measurements, but even so, it was YUM! And something I would definitely make again. Thank you!
