Cook the pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain; return pasta to pot. Toss pasta with tomato sauce. Oil an 8-cup gratin dish. Arrange the ingredients in the dish in the following sequence: one-third eggplant slices, half tomato-pasta sauce, one-third eggplant slices, half mozzarella slices, half tomato-pasta sauce, one-third eggplant slices, half mozzarella slices.
Bake uncovered until the cheese on top is melted and golden, about 30 minutes.
