    The flavour of the aubergine in this recipe was fantastic! I didn't have mozarella so used cheddar instead: gorgeous! I ended up eating 2 halves on my own (:o)

    Nice and light, but also a bit bland, especially considering the watery insipid tomatoes in the supermarkets. Simmered tinned tomatoes with some garlic and oregano work better.

    I used a fresh tomato pasta sauce as opposed to whole tomatoes (not keen on them myself) and served it with green salad for a light lunch - would double up for a more substantial main course in the evening.
