Maltagliati with Aubergine Sauce

I've read several places lately about maltagliati, so decided to make something with it. It's a nice pasta for some uses.

I rolled mine by machine, rather than by hand. Suspect that it would have been sufficient to roll to 5, rather than 6. It was good, anyhow. Would consider using this again.

I made a half recipe.

When I cut into my eggplant, I discovered it was bad, so substituted broccoli, which was the only veg available in the fridge.

The recipe has you cook large matchsticks of eggplant and carrot for the same length of time. I think the eggplant would have disappeared by the time the carrot got done. My bits of broccoli and carrot cooked in about the same time, but at one point I added a bit of water and steamed them for a while so we could eat in a reasonable amount of time.

Reasonably good sauce, considering.
