Ingredients

    1/2 pound hot Italian turkey sausage
    1/2 pound sweet Italitan turkey sausage
    2 peeled eggplants
    1 jar (32 oz) spaghetti sauce
    1 package pasta (16 oz)
    1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

Directions

1.In 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat Italian sausages and 1/4 cup water to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove cover and cook until sausages are browned, about 15 minutes. Remove sausages to cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
2.While sausages are cooking, cut eggplant into 1/2-inch chunks.
3.In drippings remaining in skillet, over medium heat, cook eggplant and 2 tablespoons water until eggplant is tender, about 15 minutes, stirring often and adding additional water if necessary to keep eggplant from sticking. Add spaghetti sauce and sausages; over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
4.Meanwhile, in saucepot, prepare ziti macaroni as label directs but do not use salt in water.
5.Drain ziti; return to saucepot. Add spaghetti-sauce mixture; over medium heat, heat through.
6.To serve, spoon ziti into 8 individual pasta bowls or dinner plates; top each serving with some ricotta cheese and cracked pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you like.
