Separate roasted garlic cloves, squeeze garlic into a dish and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine eggplant, vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, basil, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Place eggplant mixture and the marinade in a baking pan. Bake in a preheated 400u00b0 oven for 30 minutes. Stir every 5 to 6 minutes. About 10 minutes before eggplant is done, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add tomatoes and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes. At the same time, cook pasta in a pot of boiling water, following package instructions. Drain and divide cooked pasta on 4 serving plates. Cover pasta with roasted eggplant. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Cover cheese with equal portions of the hot tomato and garlic sauce mixture and sprinkle each portion with parsley. Serve right away with Parmesan cheese.
