This aubergine dish is so good that it has managed to convert many die-hard, non-eggplant eaters! Stuffed with a fragrant filling of beef, rice, lots of fresh basil & parsley, parmesan, a little garlic & fennel, then baked and served with a basil tomato sauce, it can be prepared in part or completely ahead of time for convenience.

The combination of fresh egg pasta, golden, slightly caramelised fennel, black olives, and zesty lemon is perfect when topped with Taleggio, a delicious, nutty cheese that melts beautifully when baked. This is a great dish for an easy alfresco meal with friends.
