Cook the Spaghetti or Bucatini in a large pot of salted boiling water until 'al dente.' Drain, reserving some of the cooking water.
In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced eggplant and sauté until golden brown and softened.
In a separate saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine the cooked pasta, sautéed eggplant, and tomato sauce in the pan. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly.
