2 Peel and cut eggplant into 3/4” cubes. Put in a large bowl.
3 Slice tomatoes in half lengthwise and squeeze out the seeds. Cut crosswise into 1/4” slices.
4 Add the tomatoes to the eggplant together with garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix well.
5 Spread mixture in baking pan. (Save your mixing bowl to toss the Pasta later.) Salt and pepper. Roast 25 minutes or until eggplant is tender.
