Simple, delicious, versatile, certainly healthy. Would be great over orzo or other pasta or with rice. So good when fresh tomatoes are plentiful.
Easy and excellent. I added about 1/4 tsp. pepper flakes, and served it over rice.
Prefer to just roast or grill eggplant, toss with fresh tomatoes, garlic, oregano, pine nuts, black olives, fusilli pasta and parmesan. Easy and tasty.
This was very good. I think 1-inch tomato slices was a typo. One pound of tomatoes will not get you 32 1-inch slices. I cut the tomatoes in half length wise, and then into ½-inch slices and it worked. I added a bunch of halved cherry tomatoes. All of this just fit into a 9" X 13" baking dish. Baked it for almost 40 minutes. I'll definitely make this again, and add some bread crumbs and maybe grated Parmesan cheese.
