Baked Eggplant and Ricotta Rolls image

I saw this on the cover of Good Taste and decided, with eggplants at $2.99/kg, that it had to be dinner! And it didn't disappoint. It's actually quite fun to get a guest or two to help you, they can make the rolls whilst you fix the salad and polenta!

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

olive oil flavored cooking spray
2 medium eggplants
