Whats the name of this italian dish?

The thing with Italian food is that it can be called whatever you want it to. If it's a seafood dish with chili flakes in a tomato based sauce you can call it a bunch of different things. You could call it an arrabiatta (which is a spicy tomato based sauce), you can also call it Fra Diavolo, Cioppino (with some more seafood added in), Pesce Pomodoro, or Pomodoro Tonno (Tuna in Italian), etc.... The thing with Italian food is that it is mostly named after the ingredients inside or after the region it's made it. You can have the same ingredients, and the same dish but it will be referred to as two different dishes based on where you are. With eggplant in it you can use the name Mellanzane (eggplant in Italian) and come up with your own unique name and make it your own.
