Default Eggplant and Pasta

Eggplant has been really cheap over the last few months. I've been buying 3-4 at a time.
I cut them length-wise in 4 pieces. brush both sides with olive oil and broil until lightly browned then flip over and repeat.
THEN I let them cool just a bit and scrap all the meat out.
If not using right away I put them in baggies, smooth out laying down and freeze them.

I use them in place of meat in a penne pasta w/spaghetti sauce & shredded mozzarella dish. Cook the pasta, drain, add the sauce eggplant & cheese and mix well. Pour into crockpot and keep warm on low.

I rarely use actual recipes so everything is "as much or little as you like'.
