You’d never guess that within this comforting casserole hides a layer of thinly sliced eggplant.
The thin slices become tender when roasted and add a subtle savory note.
Be sure not to overcook the pasta or it will turn mushy.

And don’t skip the balsamic vinegar at the endit’s a bright finishing touch.
Leftovers are great for lunch the next day.
