Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss diced eggplant with olive oil and spread an an even layer on a baking sheet. Roast in oven for about 25 minutes, or until eggplant is brown and tender. Bring a large pot of water to boil and prepare Gemelli until al dente. In a large pan over medium-low heat, combine onions, garlic, and olive oil.
