Ingredients:

2 eggplants
1100g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
15 oz ricotta cheese
430g
1 cup spinach
30g
1 egg
50g
12 leafs basil
6g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 cups mozzarella cheese
230g
5 dash salt
2g
5 dash black pepper
1/2g
2 cups tomato sauce
490g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
8g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggplant:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the eggplants lengthwise into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Lay the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray oil.
- Sprinkle lightly with a little salt and black pepper.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and pliable. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- While the eggplants are baking, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, egg, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
- Spread each eggplant slice with a generous spoonful of the ricotta mixture.
- Roll up each slice gently but firmly and place the rolls seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Repeat this process with all slices and filling.
4. Top and Bake:
- Pour the tomato sauce over the top of the eggplant rolls evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
5. Final Touch:
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
6. Serve:
- Carefully plate the eggplant lasagna rolls and serve warm.

Tips:

- Choose firm, fresh eggplants for the best texture and flavor.

- Slice the eggplants evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Use paper towels to lightly press the eggplant slices and remove excess moisture before cooking.

- For extra flavor, grill the eggplant slices instead of baking them.

- Mix in some chopped fresh herbs such as oregano or thyme into the ricotta mixture for added depth of flavor.

- Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach to avoid watery lasagna rolls.

- Let the lasagna rolls rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set and the flavors to meld.

Eggplant lasagna rolls with ricotta, spinach, and mozzarella are a delightful and healthy alternative to traditional lasagna.
