200 gr shredded cheese (i use a yellow cheese from Crete)
salt/pepper to taste

In a big pot heat the oil over medium temperature.
Put the onion, tomato, eggplant, chilly pepper and beef. Pour in the wine and cook for 5 min. Add the tomato sauce, oregano, basil and pepper. Lower the temperature to sim and allow to cook for 4 hours. The last half hour add the pasta. If there is not enough sauce you can pour in 1 cup of water before cooking the pasta.
