VEGAN EGGPLANT POMODORO

Steps:

• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes.

EGGPLANT POMODORO (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450'F.
• Put the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
• Arrange the eggplant on a large baking pan and brush both sides with oil.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake until golden brown and tender, about 25 minutes.
• Turn and rotate the slices half way through the cooking process.
• FOR THE SAUCE:.
• Whisk 1/4 cup of the milk, with the flour and garlic. Put in a saucepan and then gradually add the rest of the milk and 1/2 cup of the spaghetti sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. It should be pink. Cook until it thickens up. About 2-3 minutes should do it.
• Spread the sauce on the bottom of a shallow 2 quart baking dish. Alternate the layers of the sauce and cooked eggplant.
• Put the rest of the sauce on top, sprinkle with the cheeses and bake on upper rack until brown and bubbly. This should take 10-15 minutes.
• I added some Italian bread crumbs on top of the cheese because I like how crunchy it gets.
• Bon Appetit!
