Slice the eggplants into 1/2 inch rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 20 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

Prepare the Eggplant

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until tender and grill marks appear. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grill the Eggplant

In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Make the Marinara Sauce

Stir in the grilled eggplant and fresh basil into the marinara sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

Combine Everything

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Pasta

Serve the grilled eggplant marinara over the cooked pasta. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired.
