Eggplant Parmigiana and Macaroni is a lovely vegetarian dish full of colour and flavour. The eggplant/aubergine adds body to the dish without being heavy while the mixture of spice and vegetables compliments perfectly. Serve as a main dish for a lot of happy people. Bearing in mind how much food is prepared, it still only takes 25 minutes from scratch. This recipe is ideal for those in a rush or, as is often the case in my house, unexpected guests.

Eggplant Parmigiana and Macaroni is a variety on the ever popular Chicken Parmigiana which uses chicken as well add ham or bacon.
