Rinse the eggplants thoroughly, dry them, and fry them until they have acquired a nice brown color. Once drained, taste them and, if necessary, adjust the salt

Cook the pasta and drain it al dente. Place it in the pan with the tomato sauce along with half of the fried eggplants. Sauté for 1 or 2 minutes over high heat and serve with a sprinkling of grated ricotta

What really gets you are fried eggplants, we can certainly not consider it a light dish. Avoid it during lunch breaks in the office if you want to stay awake in the afternoon
