    My boyfriend and I had this for dinner and then lunch the next day we liked it so much. It makes a lot of stuffing, too much for the 2 hollowed out halves, but it makes a great snack. This recipe has already been requested for next week. - 1/16/13

    I make a similar dish substituting ground chuck. I also soak the insides of the eggplant in cold water for 30 minutes to get out the bitterness. It's delicious! - 5/13/09

    tastes exactly like my spaghetti only much healthier! Would've been easier if recipe stated which size can of tomato sauce to use, and what size the nutr. info was calculated on though. - 1/29/08

    I make this recipe with a couple of differences. I add chopped fresh tomatoes, and whatever summer squash I have frozen from the garden, and I use chopped fresh turkey when I have it. - 11/28/07

    Delicious! I have a very similar version where I add pearl barley and baby spinach and use 2 large eggplants. This adds a lot more volume for the calories and is a great way to your veggies in! - 9/14/07
