Baked Ziti with Sausage

Baked ziti is covered-dish cooking at its best, and is just the thing to take to a friend who needs a bit of cheering up. This version is more generously proportioned than most, with enough flavorful Italian sausage, roasted eggplant, tangy tomato sauce and lush ricotta to satisfy even the heartiest appetite.
