Rigatoni alla Siciliano

I found this recipe in a magazine and it was really good!!!

1 box rigatoni pasta
1 small eggplant
28oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbs olive oil
1/4 cup fresh mozzarella, cubed
italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and salt to taste

Saute eggplant and garlic in oil over medium high heat for about 7 minutes.
Add tomatoes and spices. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes.
While sauce is simmering, cook pasta according to box directions.
Drain pasta and reserve some of the pasta water.
Add pasta to sauce and a little bit of the pasta water to bring to desired consistency.
Add mozzarella and stir to melt cheese.

Enjoy!!!
