This dish was okay. The eggplant was cooked well, but the sauce was a little too acidic for my taste. I also found the Italian meats to be a bit overpowering.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The eggplant was mushy and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
