So cut it upcircles (and if the eggplants are small, it is better along the plates), soak or s alt and take care of the tomatoes. They also need to be cut into slices. Remove all butts, extreme small slices are also probably not useful here. Now roll the squeezed eggplants in flour and fry in olive oil in a wide frying pan. Grease a large baking sheet with oil and lay the fried eggplants on it in orderly rows. Put a tomato circle on each eggplant circle, sprinkle with generously chopped garlic, finely chopped herbs, cover with a thin layer of Parmesan. Bake the eggplant in the oven for twenty minutes at a not too high temperature, at least up to two hundred degrees. Delicious both hot and cold - with fresh bread or fried potatoes.

Cut eggplant into thin circles and soak in s alt water for half an hour. Cook pasta, as usual, until cooked, but no more. Drain the water, mix with butter. Squeeze the water from the eggplants, roll them in flour and fry until crispy in olive oil. In the same panfry onion half rings, and then scalded and skinned pieces of tomatoes. We collect all this in one bowl, except for pasta and eggplant, add pepper, squeeze at least half of the head of garlic there, mix. We grease the form with butter, put half of the pasta on the bottom, eggplants on them, then onions with tomatoes, and - the final chord - pasta again. The eggs are to be beaten with sour cream and some s alt (do not overdo it!), mixed with cheese grated on a fine grater and pour this mixture on top of the pasta, trying to make it evenly. Now we put the form in an oven heated to one hundred and eighty degrees and bake for about twenty minutes. The eggplant in the oven was saturated with garlic aroma, added a tomato flavor to itself - just a delight! And satiety will appear from pasta, sour cream and cheese. We put it on plates, sprinkle with herbs, soft cheese and wonder how good it is all together. Bon appetit!
