Istabulognaise with penne

This is an old favourite of mine, the smokey eggplant flavour is such a winner. Warning it could make you sleepy if you eat it at lunch. That is Roxanne, its a fake smile but she means it.
Method
Roast the tomatoes for an hour on 180ยบ withe some good olive oil.
Fry up the onions and garlic for a few minutes then add in the garlic add in the mince and cook until its all browned. Sprinkle in the smokey paprika and stir through, add in some salt Add in the tomatoes, bring to boil and then simmer for a few hours.
