- 3 cups water

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Place eggplants cut-side down on a lightly oiled foil-lined broiler pan or baking sheet.
Roast eggplant until it is very tender and lightly browned on top and bottom, about 45 minutes.
Cool.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add onion and sauté 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Scoop eggplant flesh from the skins; discard the skins.
Chop flesh roughly and add to the pan along with tomatoes, 3 cups water and salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

Top each serving with 2 tablespoons of Parmigiano Reggiano, croutons and basil, if desired.
