I also make a Greek-like version of this (kind of a meatless/ potato-less mousaka): add nutmeg, spinach and finely crumbled non-fat feta cheese. No milk or pasta sauce, but diced tomatoes (fresh or canned-low sodium) and 2 Tbsp. tomato paste. A dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt on top if wanted. - 6/22/10

If you want a shortcut to eggplant and pasta, use "Eggplant Caponata", a mix of eggplant, tomatoes, olives, capers peppers all mixed together. I get mine at Trader Joe's, it's 90 calories per 1/3 cup. You can serve it on bread as an appetizer or mix it with any pasta as a main dish. Very good. - 12/12/11

I am looking forward to trying this tonight, I bought eggplant to make eggplant pizza's, but this sounds better. I'm going to add in some ground turkey. I have a question, when you rinse off the salt does that get rid of most of that sodium? Trying to find the answer online, so far no luck. - 2/7/11
