Spicy Eggplant Parmesan image

I've changed the recipe to make it spicier plus added ricotta cheese to make it more hearty. If spicy is not your thing, you can get diced tomatoes with green chilies in a mild version.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh basil
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh basil

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili flakes if you don't like spicy food.
