Ingredients




1 med Eggplant
4 large garlic cloves
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1/4 lb Mushrooms
1 Can of Plain Tomato Sauce
1 Large Onion
1 small can of Anchovies
8oz Capers
1 package of Rigatoni (I used the Vegtable Rigatoni)
8oz of Mozzarella Balls
1/4 Cup of Parsley
1/4 Cup of Parm Cheese

Preparation

1 Peel and cut eggplant into cubes, cut and dice onions, shredded garlic. 2 Add olive oil to skillet to med high heat, add ingredients. 3 Cook for about 15 minutes or until you notice eggplant getting softer. 4 Add Sauce to skillet cook for another 10 minutes. 5 Then take everything from skillet and add to blender with anchovies. Blend until somewhat smooth. 6 Pour back to Skillet and add cooked al dente pasta to sauce, mix in capers. 7 Taste and see if you need salt or pepper, I didnt add anything because anchovies have that salty taste and you can always add red pepper flakes to make things spicy.  If you dont like anchovies this is still a great dish without it. 8 After eveything is in the pot add mozzarella balls and parsely. 9 Put on plate and add parm cheese.  ENJOY!!
