I really enjoyed the recipe. It was the first time I had made anything with eggplant before so it was an experiment for me. My boyfriend liked it as well. He said that the eggplant and cheese tastes mixing together was very interesting to him.

This was a crowd pleaser. When I went for left overs the next day I discovered my adult daughter loved it so much she took what little bit of leftovers there were home.

A great recipe to help use up the summer produce. I added a bit more garlic and some basil, too. Thanks!

This recipe has a lot of good ingredients on its own but I added fresh basil and after 20 minutes,topped it with 8 oz. of shredded cheddar and baked until browned, about 10-15 mintues more.

I have made this twice and I really like it just the way it is, but I gave it to a friend who substituted grilled chicken and his family said they preferred it with chicken.

Fast and tastey.

this was okay--the baked veggies by themselves were wonderful--but, I think it must have been the sauce I didn't care for--spaghetti sauce would have probably been better, thanks

I made this tonight for my family. I did not have yellow squash so made it with more zucchini and eggplant. They all loved it, even my daughter who doesnt like to eat veggies! She ate it all and asked for more! This is definitely going into the "make again" box!
