Prepare pasta according to package directions, and keep warm.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, and cook, stirring often, for 7 minutes or until lightly browned and crumbly. Add eggplant, onion, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until eggplant is tender and tomatoes have broken down.
Toss eggplant mixture with hot cooked pasta. Garnish with basil, if desired.
