 Categories: Beef, Pasta, Vegetables, Chilies, Herbs
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1 tb Olive oil
      4 c  Peeled (if desired), chopped
           - eggplant
      8 oz Ground beef
    1/2 c  Chopped onion
      2    Cloves garlic; minced
 14 1/2 oz Can diced tomatoes;
           - undrained
      8 oz Can tomato sauce
      1 ts Dried basil; crushed
    1/2 ts Dried oregano; crushed
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Crushed red pepper
      8 oz Dried multigrain penne
           - pasta
    1/2 c  Shredded mozzarella cheese
 
  In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium-high
  heat. Add eggplant; cook until tender, stirring
  frequently. Remove from skillet. Add ground beef, onion,
  and garlic to skillet. Cook until meat is brown, using a
  wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Drain off fat.
  Stir in eggplant, tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano,
  salt, and crushed red pepper. Spread mixture in a shallow
  baking pan to cool quickly.
  
  Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions;
  drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Stir pasta into
  meat mixture.
  
  Line a 2 quart baking dish or 8x8x1 3/4-inch square
  disposable foil pan with a triple layer of plastic wrap,
  extending the wrap to one side so there is enough to cover
  when folded back over dish. Transfer meat mixture to the
  prepared baking dish. Fold plastic wrap over food, then
  wrap dish completely in foil. Freeze for up to 4 months
  
  To serve, remove foil from baking dish. Lift frozen food
  out of dish and remove plastic wrap; return food to dish.
  Cover with foil and thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
  
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Bake, covered, about 75 minutes or until heated though,
  stirring mixture once halfway through baking. Sprinkle
  with cheese. Bake, uncovered, about 5 minutes more or
  until cheese is melted.
  
  Makes: 6 servings
