What a great idea to add all those vegetables. I once saw Nigella add about a half a cup of red lentils to a bolognese---or maybe it was a meat ragout. Either way, they disappear and add tons of nutritional value to any tomato based sauce, and are virtually undetectable.

Eggplant and pasta are very common in Southern Italy. One classic pasta dish from southern Italy is pasta alla Norma (with tomato sauce, ricotta, and basil).
I'll have to include this sauce when doing my next Scordo Pasta Challenge entry, I'm trying to eat my way through all known pasta shapes. Here's the latest in the series: http://www.scordo.com/2010/03/the-scordo-pasta-challenge-vincenzo-eats-every-pasta-shape-planet.html

I made this last night and it's delicious and huge. My husband and I have food for days. I think next time I may even add more veggies and black olives.
We also didn't have parmesan cheese - I used some Dubliner which was a fantastic addition.
