This is an excellent recipe for people who love lasagna but don't want all the fat. Its so good it doesn't even taste like a low fat meal to me.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs eggplants, sliced lenthwise 3/4 inch thick
3 tbsp olive oil
5 tsp salt
3 tsp black pepper
15 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
3 eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
16 ounces marinara sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer. Brush lightly with oil on both sides, salt and pepper. Roast until tender turning half way through - about 25 - 30 min.
2. In a med bowl whisk together ricotta, eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, oregano, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Brush 8 inch square baking dish with oil.
3. Lay 1/4 of eggplant slices in bottom of prepared dish; spread with half of marinara sauce. Top with another 1/4 of eggplant; spread with half of ricotta mixture. Repeat layers, ending with ricotta; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake until bubbling 20 - 25 min. Cool 10 min before serving.
