Eggplant Spaghetti Sauce

Pasta Sauce - Side Dish

This is a lovely eggplant spaghetti sauce I made one day when I was bored and just wanted an alternative to the regular red sauce. Add spaghetti to the mixture or else add spaghetti on the side. This also goes well if you add a little mozzarella or Parmesan cheese on top.
