The eggplant is great, despite the slightly odd cooking method on a jelly-roll pan (it actually scoops out just fine with a spatula, sauce, cheese and all). I would use smaller slices of eggplant next time so they cook all the way through. There was lots of leftover flour/breading mixture after coating the eggplant, which felt like a waste. Didn't love the presentation over angel hair pasta - think the eggplant would be fabulous just on its own!
