Spaghetti With Eggplant And Tomato Sauce

The extent of God’s love at Calvary is seen in both the infinite cost to Him of giving His one and only Son, and in the wretched and miserable condition of those He loved. God could not remove our sins without an infinite cost to both Himself and His Son. And because of their great love for us, both were willing—yes more than merely willing—to pay that great cost, the Father in giving His one and only Son, and the Son in laying down His life for us. One of the essential characteristics of love is the element of self-sacrifice, and this was demonstrated for us to its ultimate in God’s love at Calvary.

3	lb	Canned plum tomatoes
		including the juice
2	lb	Eggplant

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large heavy saucepan cook the onion and the garlic in 2
tablespoons of the oil over the moderately low heat, stirring
occasionally, until the onion is softened, add the tomatoes with the
juice, and simmer the sauce, uncovered, breaking up the tomatoes and
stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until it is thickened.  While
the sauce is simmering, cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch dice,  divide it
between 2-jelly-roll pans, and drizzle it with the  remaining 4
tablespoons oil. Bake the eggplant on the upper and lower  racks of a
preheated 400&#176.F. oven for 10 minutes, stir it and  switch the pan
positions in the oven. Bake the eggplant for 10  minutes more, or until
it is very tender and golden, and stir it into  the sauce with salt and
pepper to taste.  In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the
spaghetti until it is al  dente and drain it well. Divide the spaghetti
among dinner plates and  spoon the sauce in the center of each serving.
