With so many fresh vegetables in our gardens lately I was excited to see a new recipe on eggplant pasta. I have least 6 plants with eggplants all most large enough to use in our garden right now. In the past I have only used our eggplant to make eggplant parmesan, so I’m really excited to try something new with it.
