Delicious Italian/ Mediterranean-style eggplant rollups filled with a mixture of Ricotta cheese and spinach and topped with tomato sauce. The thinly sliced eggplant itself forms a crepe as opposed to the French batter crepes we are usually familiar with.

- Roll up and place seam sides down in a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Top with tomato sauce.
- Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
- To prepare tomato sauce for eggplant crepes: Place vegetables in a food processor with steel blade.
- Process until finely chopped.
- In large saucepan, sauté vegetables in olive oil with garlic, basil, oregano and thyme until tender.

- Notes: When I'm in a hurry I will use one of the good home style Italian sauces with peppers and vegetables on the grocery shelf like Aunt Millie's or Classico, instead of making this sauce.
