Got here via foodgawker…this recipe sounds wonderful! Do you think it would freeze well, before or after baking? Can’t wait to try it…

The only thing I’d wonder about is the eggplant, so I looked that up and others seem to think that fried eggplant freezes just fine. In that case, I would think it’s a lot like freezing lasagna, which works for me. Just defrost in the refrigerator and then reheat (or cook, I suppose) in the oven. Hope you enjoy it!

I love this recipe. It looks so hearty and yet so fresh all at the same time. I have this great eggplant and spinach recipe that tastes great on some long grain rice, if you are looking for a new eggplant recipe. Although with the O foods contest, I am sure you have more than enough new recipes to last for ages.,eh? I can email it to you if you like.

[...] Calabrian, I am not arguing. I especially cannot argue with someone who would make me a big dish of Baked Pasta with Eggplant. Even though it may take more time to cook, pasta in the oven, as all Italian cooks know, means no [...]

hello! i found this trough tastespotting, and tried it out yesterday with normal bacon and ricotta instead of provolone (due to a very limited supermarket) and it worked out perfect! this one is going to be made a lot more…thanks!

Thanks for coming and letting me know! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, and kudos on the substitutions…I love dishes like this exactly because they are so versatile, and tasty of course
