Ingredients
15 oz. low fat ricotta3 cups fresh or 1 cup cooked spinach1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese1 egg1 eggplant1.5 cups of Spaghetti sauce ( I used half a jar of Ragu)4 oz. shredded mozzarella
1. Slice eggplant into somewhat thin slices; salt and layer between paper towels for about 10 mins to get rid of some of the bitterness. Then, rinse off the eggplant.
2. Grill the eggplant until cooked.
3. Meanwhile, whisk egg in a bowl. Combine ricotta cheese and parmesan in same bowl.
4. If the spinach is not cooked, nuke in the microwave for about 1 minute with 1 tablespoon of water. Use a kitchen towel to drain the water from the spinach as best you can to get the dryest spinach you can. Add the spinach to the cheese mixture. At this time you may choose to add other spices. I added Italian seasoning, garlic power and a little s+p.
5. Once all your eggplant is cooked and the you have mixed the cheese and spinach, take a slice of eggplant and put a spoonful of ricotta mixture on one side. Roll the eggplant and put in a baking dish, open side down. Repeat with all the eggplant slices.
6. Spoon spaghetti sauce evenlor eggplant rolls and sprinkle with mozzarella.
7. Cook in the oven on 350 degrees for 20 mins.
8. Serve the rolls with your favorite pasta or a salad.
