Remove casings from sausage. Crumble sausage and brown in
heavy pot, then set aside using a slotted spoon; pour off fat.
Heat the olive oil in the above pot and sauté the eggplant
with onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, basil and thyme. Season with salt and
pepper. When the eggplant is softened, add the sausage back to the pot.
Add the tomatoes and olives to the pot. Bring the mixture to
a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 1½ hours until the sauce is thickened
and well blended. Add wine, salt and pepper to taste and serve over the hot
cooked pasta and pass the Parmesan.
