Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1-pound eggplants, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil

Arrange half of eggplant over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon generous 1 cup sauce over. Arrange half of mozzarella over sauce. Repeat layering 1 more time. Top with 3 lasagna noodles. Spread remaining sauce over. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup Parmesan. Cover tightly with lightly oiled foil. (Can be made 1 day ahead; chill.)
  • Bake until noodles are tender and lasagna is heated through, about 45 minutes. Uncover; bake until cheese begins to brown and sauce is bubbling slightly at edges, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

This lasagna is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some roasted eggplant in the fridge and I didn't know what to do with it. This recipe was the perfect solution!

The addition of broiled tomatoes to the sauce was a nice touch. It gave the sauce a slightly smoky flavor that complemented the eggplant perfectly.

I love that this recipe uses roasted eggplant instead of boiled eggplant. It gives the lasagna a much more complex and flavorful taste.

I'm a vegetarian and I was looking for a lasagna recipe that didn't include meat. This recipe fit the bill perfectly. The roasted eggplant was a great substitute for ground beef and the lasagna was every bit as satisfying.

I followed the recipe exactly and my lasagna turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to add more garlic to the tomato sauce. Other than that, it was perfect!

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this lasagna changed my mind. The roasting process brings out the eggplant's natural sweetness and makes it incredibly tender. Highly recommend!
