Sometimes, it's the simplicity of recipes that draws me towards it. This Eggplant Lasagna is as easy as it sounds.
Eggplant slices are marinated with salt & pepper along with olive oil. Instead of Meatsauce I have used Pasta Sauce and layered it with the Roasted Eggplant, the Ricotta & Egg Mixture, and the Mozzarella Cheese.
All of this bakes for about 30 minutes and is served with chopped Parsley and Basil on top!

👩🏻🍳 How to make Eggplant Lasagna
Step 1: Roasting the Eggplant
First, trim off the head of the Eggplant. Choose a tall and slender Eggplant, because when you cut it out you will get nice long strips that will resemble Lasagna noodles. Cut thin strips of Eggplant. Toss them with salt, pepper & olive oil. Keep aside for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to soak out the excess moisture and place them in the middle rack of the oven. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400F or 200C for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Making the Ricotta Mixture
Second, in a mixing bowl, take Egg, Ricotta Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, Salt & Pepper. Combine everything using a spoon and keep aside.
Step 3: Making the Pasta Sauce
Third, heat olive oil in a pan. As the oil shimmers, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to it. As the garlic gets fragrant, add 1/2 can of Tomatoes in it and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat. Add some Oregano, Salt, Pepper, and Sugar. Stir to combine and take it out in a separate bowl.
Step 4: The Layering
Finally, the last step is just basic layering. So, grease a casserole baking dish with oil. Start with a layer of Pasta sauce, followed by Eggplants, followed by Pasta sauce, Ricotta Mixture, and Mozzarella Cheese. Repeat until you use up all the Eggplant. Top with Mozzarella Cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven, covered, at 350F or 180C for 15-20 minutes. After that, bake uncovered for 10 more minutes.
Serve with chopped basil and parsley on top!
