This is my take on a tried and true recipe with some changes. It's delicious and would go great with some home made pasta. I doubled the recipe because we love this sort of dish.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 large eggplant (cut in 1/2-inch circles)
salt (I used the course kind)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup milk (I used soy)
3 tablespoons flour
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 cup spaghetti sauce (I used home made Pomodoro)
1/2 cup cheese (I used Vegan Mozzarella)
1/3 cup grated cheese (Parmesan or Romano is good)

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!

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Tips:

Choose the right eggplant: Look for small to medium-sized eggplants that are firm and have smooth, shiny skin. Avoid eggplants that are too large or have blemishes or wrinkles.
Slice the eggplant evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will not cook through; if they are too thin, they will become mushy.
Salt the eggplant slices: This helps to draw out the moisture and make them less bitter. Be sure to rinse the slices thoroughly before cooking.
Use a good quality olive oil: This will add flavor and richness to the dish. Avoid using extra virgin olive oil, as it has a lower smoke point and can burn easily.
Cook the eggplant over medium heat: This will help prevent them from burning and allow them to cook through evenly.
Add the tomatoes and other vegetables: Once the eggplant is cooked, add the tomatoes, onions, garlic, and other vegetables. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the sauce has thickened.
Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Serve the eggplant pomodoro over pasta or rice: This is a classic Italian dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
