When I was staying with my parents last summer I'd make the "meatballs" freeze them on a cookie sheet, then transfer the frozen meatballs to a quart freezer bag. Then, when my mom made spaghetti she could just heat some eggplant meatballs in the sauce for me. They never lasted very long, though, because even the meat-eaters enjoyed the eggplant balls!

You might have to experiment with the eggplant a bit. I like the taste of eggplant, so I cut it into 1/2" chunks so I get some nice bites of eggplant in the meatballs. If you dice the eggplant finer it virtually disappears in the meatball. Still good, but I like to taste the eggplant.
