Eggplant lasagne is a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional lasagne. By using eggplant slices in place of pasta, this recipe not only reduces carbs but also adds a nutritious twist. It's rich, flavorful, and perfect for both vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.
- Slice the eggplants evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out extra moisture and reduce bitterness.
- Use a mandoline for consistent and thin slices of eggplant.
- Be sure to cook down the canned tomatoes to create a thicker sauce.
- Fresh basil leaves can be substituted with dried basil, but use only half the amount.
- For a vegan option, replace the ricotta and cheddar cheese with plant-based alternatives.
Eggplant lasagne is a fantastic way to enjoy a classic dish with a vegetable twist. The combination of tender eggplant, savory tomato sauce, and creamy ricotta makes for a hearty and satisfying meal. Serve it with a fresh green salad for a complete and balanced dinner that everyone will love.
