If grilling is inconvenient, preheat the broiler to cook the eggplant. Bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boil in a stockpot and preheat oven to 500F. Combine the ricotta in a small bowl with the parsley, fennel, rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside. Slice the eggplant into rounds about 5/8 inch thick. Brush both sides of the eggplant with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grill or broil the eggplant slices for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are browned and cooked through. Transfer them to a cutting board and chop coarsely. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggplant, tomato, cream, Pecorino Romano, fontina, red pepper, garlic, and up to 1 teaspoon salt. Parboil the pasta for 4 minutes, drain, and toss in the bowl with the eggplant mixture. Divide the mixture evenly among 6 to 8 individual, shallow, ceramic baking dishes ( 1 1/2 to 2 cup capacity). Put a dollop of the herbed ricotta in the center of each pasta dish, top with a portion of butter, and bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes, until brown and bubbly on top. Chefs Johanne Killeen and George Germon are married and run a restaurant called "Al Forno" in Providence, RI. Much of the food they serve involves grilling as George has a passion for making fires and cooking food on them. Many of their recipe ideas are brought back from Tuscany.

This is my approximation of it. You may want to add more oil than I oil. Served with a baked potato for a light meal. --pat Mix the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the dressing ingredients, adding pear juice and honey to sweeten and moisten. Add crumbled cheese to the dressing then combine with the salad and toss. Let stand about 10 minutes before serving. Serves 2 to 4. [11/9/98] -- Clone recipe from Pat Hanneman. Souplantation is a salad buffet restaurant chain in Southern California. RESTAURANT NOTES: The cheese was so scant a measure that it was not in each serving; and it's flavor/aroma wasn't strong. I tasted peanut oil but other nut oils would do. We had blue cheese at the restaurant and manouri at home.
