Eggplant Bolognese

Many days I just don’t have much time to cook lunch and in between work, household duties and picking up Miss T from preschool I need something quick. This recipe for eggplant Bolognese is easy and quick to make and tastes incredibly yummy. I like to make it with brown rice pasta for a gluten-free dish, but it would taste great with any other pasta as well. Just try it and let me know your favourite. 🙂
