Directions:
Peel eggplants and slice into 1/4" circles and lightly salt. Place on a cooling rack because salt will draw out the water. Fry eggplant and let oil drain.

In a large kettle, cook pasta in salted water until al dente (do not over cook). Drain pasta. Add peas to meat sauce and lightly coat pasta. It should not be runny.

Butter large aluminum pan and cover with light dusting of bread crumbs. Cover with a thin layer of pasta, then a layer of eggplant, sauce and top with parmesan cheese. Repeat layers until pan is filled. Sprinkle top with bread crumbs.

Cover pan with foil and bake in preheated oven @325º for approximately two hours.
