Removing any excess moisture helps it brown nicely instead of becoming soggy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid Overcrowding the Pan:<\/strong> When saut&eacute;ing the eggplant, cook in batches if necessary. Overcrowding can cause the eggplant to steam rather than brown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reserve Pasta Water:<\/strong> Save about a cup of the pasta cooking water before draining. Adding it to the sauce later helps achieve the perfect consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjust Seasoning to Taste:<\/strong> Taste your sauce before combining with pasta.
