Broiled Eggplant with Capers and Mint

...with a side of baked macaroni and cheese.

Broiled Eggplant with Capers and Mint from Smitten Kitchen, of course. The mac-n-cheese also came from her. She's such a genius!

I really liked the 2:1 ratio of cheese to macaroni in this recipe. I also used 1% fat free cottage cheese, almond milk, and gluten free pasta to make it a little bit healthier.
