Made this last night, doubled the sauce and added a pound of cooked ground chicken when adding the eggplant at the end, the way they used to serve it at the restaurant. It was fantastic! Will make again.

The consistency of the sauce when added to the egg plant was not how I expected it to be (it was a tad watery) but nonetheless was so delicious and tasted exactly like the ones at PF Chang's!
