| 1. Peel and dice the eggplant, put the pieces in a colander, sprinkle them well with salt, and let them sit for an hour in the sink, while the salt draws out the bitter juices. Rinse and pat them dry. | 2. Set pasta water to heat, salt it when it boils, and cook the bucatini. | 3. While doing this, skin and crumble the sausage into a pan, add the eggplant and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, and sauté the mixture until the sausage begins to brown and the eggplant has wilted. | 4. Add the tomatoes, thyme, and continue cooking covered for about 10 minutes, adding a little more liquid if the sauce looks like it's drying out. | 5. When the pasta is done, season it with the sauce and serve it with the cheese on the side. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
