I'm not a big fan of aubergine, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The aubergine was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious.

This recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The sauce was too watery. I had to simmer it for an extra 30 minutes to thicken it up.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and herbs.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The sauce is so flavorful and the aubergine adds a nice touch of smokiness. I highly recommend this recipe.

This dish was an absolute delight! The flavors of the tomatoes, aubergine, and herbs blended perfectly, creating a rich and savory sauce. The spaghetti was cooked to perfection, al dente, and absorbed the sauce beautifully.
