SO HOW'D IT GO?
Yummy. My six year old daughter loved it as well.
I followed directions specifically but doubled for larger serving and it was great had three adults one 16 yr old and a 9 year old there was nothing left excellant
My family and I liked this recipe. I did add the 1/2 tsp. of sugar as suggested, but I also added an additional can of tomato sauce to thin it out a little more. Thanks for this recipe. :)
I made this for dinner tonight. I took both of the above suggestions--added 1/2 T of sugar and sliced the eggplant into thinner pieces. I added an onion and I was out of tomato paste, so I just left it out. It turned out great, anyway!
