edit About Aubergine Rolls

Extra ricotta filling from this easy recipe makes a great sandwich spread and pasta sauce. NOTE: Depending on size of aubergine used, there may be extra filling. Use it as a sandwich spread, toss it with hot pasta, or thin it with a little water left from boiling pasta for dipping. VARIATION: Add 1 oz. reconstituted sun-dried tomatoes to filling.
