Рецепт Lazy Eggplant Lasagna - Пищевая ценность

First, I combined my whole-milk ricotta with my chopped spinach. You can wilt fresh spinach – but I chose to use frozen, cook and drain well and chop. I used barely half the box – saved the remainder for another meal. Allow to cool before adding to the cheese. Seasoned with Kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, fresh minced parsley (dried is fine to use) and mixed well. Cover and refrigerate.

Wash and peel your eggplant. Normally I would slice my eggplant – but this time I diced it instead. I wasn't using lasagna noodles so why go for the slices?

Well – you know the routine – heat your skillet, add your olive oil, heat your oil, and THEN add your breaded eggplant. Fry until tender/light golden.

Meanwhile, I placed my pot of water on the stove to boil to cook my macaroni. While waiting, I transferred the cooked eggplant to a dish to cool for just a bit, sliced my brick of mozzarella (which could easily have been grated – I sliced by choice) and I spooned about a half a quart of my sauce into a bowl.

Once again – you know the routine – pot of water comes to a rolling boil, add your salt and wait for the water to return to a full rolling boil, add your macaroni and cook al dente. Drain well and do not rinse.
