If you serve this to folks (men especially) who don't like casseroles, chances are they will change "their tune"! It certainly did in my family across 3 generations.Yummy. Eggplant replaces pasta, and tastes better IMHO. If you serve this to folks (men especially) who don't like casseroles, chances are they will change "their tune"!
