A nice surprise in this moussaka recipe is the touch of cinnamon, just enough to give it a fresh taste. This dish would serve nicely as a vegetarian entree.-Marjorie Palla, Moraga, California

This recipe was a disaster. The eggplant was mushy and the sauce was too salty.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
