Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

 

2. Peel and cube the egg-plants. Toss them in a bowl with salted water (not much salt). Allow them to rest for one hour, then remove, rinse and pat them dry. Arrange the egg-plants in a baking pan along with all ingredients, but not the cheese.

 

3. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until a little brown.

 

4. Boil the penne for 7-8 minutes, strain them in a colander and mix them in a bowl with the hot vegetables, cheese and freshly grated cheese. Serve immediately.
