Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggplants
  • 1 cup reduced-fat ricotta
  • 1 ½ cups shredded light mozzarella (divided)
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan
  • 9 oz frozen spinach (thawed)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup tomato passata or marinara
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the eggplants thinly lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet sprayed with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, mix ricotta, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Spread half of the tomato sauce in a large baking dish. Take an eggplant slice, spread two tablespoons of filling on it, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  5. Repeat until all slices are filled. Top with remaining sauce and mozzarella.
  6. Cover with foil and reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45 minutes; remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes until cheese is golden brown.
  7. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
