Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season aggressively with salt. Add the rigatoni and cook 3 minutes less than the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the eggplant and tomatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast until the eggplant is golden brown and tomatoes are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. (Leave the oven on.)
- Toss the rigatoni with the eggplant, tomatoes, about 1/4 cup pasta water and the marinara sauce in a large bowl. If it looks dry, add the remaining pasta water. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella.
- Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Transfer the pasta to the baking dish and top with the remaining cup mozzarella and the Parmesan and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. (Turn the broiler on at the end if you want the cheese to brown more.) Garnish with additional Parmesan and the chopped basil and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat a broiler or grill. Slice the eggplant one-half-inch thick. Grill or broil it, turning it once, until it is nicely browned. It will look dry and papery. Set it aside.
- Place a pot with four quarts of salted water over high heat.
- Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a heavy skillet, add the onion and saute until golden. Stir in the garlic and hot red pepper. Add the tomatoes and simmer about 15 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper, adding additional hot pepper if desired.
- When the water is boiling, add the farfalle and cook until it is just tender, about eight minutes. Drain it well; toss it with a tablespoon of the oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Oil a baking dish 8 by 12 inches with half a tablespoon of the oil and spread one-third of the farfalle in the dish. Spread half the eggplant on the farfalle and spoon on one-third of the tomato sauce. Top with half the mozzarella. Repeat with a layer of farfalle, the rest of the eggplant, half the remaining tomato sauce and the rest of the mozzarella. Spread the remaining farfalle and tomato sauce on top and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and remaining oil. Set aside until half an hour before serving time. If you refrigerate it, be sure to bring the dish to room temperature before baking.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the top has browned.
