Meatless Monday Eggplant Sloppy Joe's

It has been a Triple-R week in my house this week! A “Rachael Ray Recipe” week. As a subscriber to her magazine and avid “catch the recipe of the day” Rachael Ray Show viewer, she always has plenty of great takes on traditional dishes. Wednesday night I decided to attempt her “Meatless Monday” throw-back version of sloppy joes. By substituting eggplant for ground beef, this becomes an easy mid-week vegetarian dish.

After a long day of work, I came home to cook and oops, baby brain!, forgot the buns and the cheese for these simple sammies. So I improvised; one of the best liberties of being an at home chef! I transformed Rachael’s transformed recipe into a delectable pasta dish; always a hit in our house! Check out my recipe for Meatless Monday Eggplant Sloppy Joe Penne at TheFoodetarian.com!
