Ingredients

  • ▢2 large eggplants sliced 1/8″ thick
  • ▢coarse salt
  • ▢15 ounces part-skim ricotta
  • ▢1 large egg
  • ▢½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese save some to sprinkle on top
  • ▢4 cups homemade tomato sauce or your favorite sauce
  • ▢16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ▢2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on a clean surface. Sprinkle coarse salt over the slices and set them aside for 10 minutes. Afterward, use a paper towel to remove excess moisture and salt.

2. Next, in a grill pan, place the eggplant slices and grill each side for about 3 minutes. It's crucial not to skip steps 2 and 3 to prevent the lasagna from becoming too soupy.

3. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and an egg. Ensure it's well combined.

4. In a casserole dish, spread some tomato sauce on the bottom. Place 5 or 6 eggplant slices on top to cover the sauce. Spread a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture over the eggplant slices, and then add the mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers until all your ingredients are used.

5. Finish by topping with sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Bake covered for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Allow it to stand for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • You can prepare this lasagna a day in advance in a casserole dish and keep in the fridge overnight. However, before baking, let sit on the counter for a few minutes.
  • Remember to allow your dish to rest before serving. This will help avoid a watery lasagna.
