Ingredients
-
3 fresh eggplants
15 roma tomatoes
1 whole medium onion, peeled
8 cloves of garlic, minced (or to taste)
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
2.5 tsp ground oregano (or to taste)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 red wine
1 cup mozzerella cheese, part skim
2.5 cups 1% cottage cheese
Directions
Thinly slice eggplant lengthwise leaving skin on. Place in casserole dish sprayed with a non-stick spray, cover and allow to bake at about 350 for about 45 min or until very tender.
While eggplant is in oven, begin preparing sauce. Wash and de-seed tomatoes and place in food processor with onion until blended into a "chunky sauce" texture. Pour into a non-stick skillet over medium to low heat. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and wine and simmer until sauce darkens (approximately 20-30 min).
Remove eggplant from casserole dish and re-coat with non-stick spray. (Eggplant should be very tender so use care so not to tear too badly.)
Begin building lasagna by lining the bottom of the dish with a single layer of eggplant slices. Lightly brush with olive oil. Then apply a very thin layer of cottage cheese, carefully spreading evenly from edge to edge. Then add a slightly thicker layer of the tomato sauce and repeat all steps until those ingredients are all used, preferably ending with a layer of tomato sauce. Top with parmesan cheese and bake at 350 for about 30 min or until lasagna is bubbling and cheese is fully melted.
Makes ~8 LARGE servings and freezes well.
Serve with salad and enjoy!

Sounds great, but how much is 1/2 red wine? I'm assuming it means 1/2 cup, not 1/2 bottle. lol. In response to seppiesusan, you can get crispy eggplant w/o the frying: use only egg white in your egg-bath and toast them on a sprayed sheet pan or pizza stone at 350 degrees, flipping once so both sides - 3/25/12

It is really really good and makes lots of food! I couldn't eat a whole serving! The flavor was amazing but it took longer than I thought to make. I would recommend saving this one for the weekend. Also, I thought the tomato sauce was a little sweet. Next time I think I'm going to 86 the sugar. - 4/23/08
