  lovely for a quick and easy veggie meal, really simple to make. I misread the instructions the first time I did it and put the aubergine in with the pasta for the last few minutes of cooking time. That worked OK too!! I'm trying it the 'proper' way tonight though....

  Great recipe. Instead of stirring through the goat's cheese, I sprinkle it on top at the end to stop it from melting into the sauce.

  Really lovely, I only had soft Goats Cheese in the fridge. And i thought that it made the sauce really creamy. Yummy.

  Nice - not sure I like the aubergine though - might try it with courgette next time. The goats chese melts nicely.

  Mmm really lovely. I used feta instead of goats cheese as bunzle suggested and it worked well.

  Quick and easy mid week meal. i think next time I might peel the aubergines first or let them cook for a lot longer first as I found the skin a bit too tough. I added garlic to the onions and a few drops of tabasco sauce into the tomatoes just to give it a bit of extra kick. It was a nice meal but there was nothing astounding about it for me to want to make it again.

  Made this last night. I added some mild chilli powder to the aubergine and onion mix before adding the tomatoes. Just gave it a bit more flavour. Very nice would make it again.

  I have made this quite a few times now. I usually slice the aubergine and lightly brush with olive oil and pan fry/griddle first as it gives the aubergine more flavour. I also only stir the goats cheese in at the very last min when I have taken the sauce and pasta off of the heat and serve immediately.

  Three mins isn't nearly long enough to cook aubergines! So I griddled mine first as well. Added a couple of rashers of bacon that needed using up which worked really well with the smokey taste of the aubergine, yummy!

  Delicious! I always roast my aubergines though which makes them lovely and soft, takes a bit longer but it's definitely worth it!

  Excellent. Even my meat eating husband thoroughly enjoyed this veggie pasta dish. I used baby aubergine and the feta cheese made it! Delicious!

  Made this to break my Ramadhan fast with last night - no tinned tomatoes so used fresh and grilled the aubergines first which gave them a wonderful smokey flavour. The feta cheese was something I had never tried before and it worked well - very satisfying! Will definitely be making this gain for my aubergine-loving friends as the kids are complete philistines when it comes to eggplant!
