This eggplant and tomato sauce is a hearty, slow-simmered pasta topper. Cubed eggplant, onion, garlic, and grape tomatoes are sautéed until tender, then simmered with crushed tomatoes and a splash of red wine. It’s a sauce that deepens in flavor the longer it cooks, perfect for tossing with macaroni and a generous sprinkle of Romano cheese.
