Here’s a quote from Heather, the creator of this recipe: ‘I wound up loving that the GF lasagna noodles emulated a rustic fat pasta cut like papardelle. It’s so pretty and has a really nice tooth to it. The sweet smoky tomato sauce is one of my current favorites and then the bright garlicky flavor of the basil walnut pistou is the best ever. Oh, and the eggplant! Just in case any of you are also growing eggplant in your gardens, or getting the best at the farmers markets and even our local markets have such great eggplant right now. The grilled char marks give it an even better flavor. Everything all together is the most wonderful summer pasta dish- enjoy!’
