Lasagna Stuffed Eggplant Rolls Recipes

FRIED EGGPLANT LASAGNA ROLLS

Steps:

• Slice the eggplant lengthwise into twelve 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle both sides generously with salt. Set aside to draw out the moisture, about 40 minutes. Transfer the eggplant to a colander and rinse. Pat very dry with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce: Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, the garlic, basil, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 30 minutes. Discard the basil sprigs and puree the sauce with an immersion blender (or puree in a regular blender in batches).
• Mix the flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons Parmesan, the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a third shallow bowl. One at a time, dip each eggplant slice in the flour, then the eggs, then the breadcrumbs and transfer to a baking sheet.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 eggplant slices and cook until golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook as the label directs for al dente. Remove 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the noodles. Stir the reserved cooking water into the tomato sauce.
• Assemble the lasagna rolls: Preheat the oven to 375 ̊ F. Pour 5 cups of the tomato sauce into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread 1 tablespoon ricotta on a lasagna noodle; top with 1 tablespoon Parmesan, 3 heaping tablespoons mozzarella, another lasagna noodle and 2 eggplant slices to cover the length of the entire noodle. Top the eggplant with 2 heaping tablespoons of the tomato sauce. Starting with a short end, roll up the stack into a spiral. Use a sharp knife to slice the spiral in half to make 2 spirals. Place each piece in the baking dish cut-side down with the wavy edges of the noodle facing up. Continue with the remaining lasagna noodles and eggplant slices until you have 12 spirals in the baking dish. Top with any remaining ricotta, Parmesan and mozzarella.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until browned on top, 10 to 12 more minutes. Top with basil and serve with any remaining tomato sauce.

Steps:

• Position racks in the middle and upper third of oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Slice each eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Discard any small or misshapen pieces. You should have about 24 strips. Sprinkle the strips with 1/4 teaspoon salt and let stand for 15 minutes.
• Pat the eggplant slices dry and brush both sides with oil. Place on the prepared pans, overlapping the slices a little if necessary. Roast until soft and beginning to brown, swapping the pans from top to bottom midway, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, 1/4 cup basil, 2 teaspoons garlic and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Spread 1/2 cup of the mixture in a broiler-safe 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Squeeze spinach to remove any excess liquid. Combine the spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon garlic in a medium bowl.
• When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, spread a generous tablespoon of the ricotta mixture on each slice. Starting from the narrowest end, roll up the slices and place in the baking pan seam-side down. Top with the remaining tomato mixture.
• Bake the rolls on the middle rack until the tomato mixture is hot and bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
• Top the rolls with mozzarella. Broil until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup basil and serve.

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high.

• Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the bechamel sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Lay out 4 lasagna noodles on a work surface, then spread a large spoonful (about 3 tablespoons worth) of ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle. Starting at 1 end, roll each noodle like a jelly roll. Lay the lasagna rolls seam side down, without touching, atop the bechamel sauce in the dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and ricotta mixture. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan over the lasagna rolls. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until heated through and the sauce bubbles, about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese on top becomes golden, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining marinara sauce in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat until hot, and serve alongside.

• While the shells are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the beef and onion in the hot skillet until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease; stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Spread half of the sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir in the cottage cheese, 3/4 of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Spoon the cheese mixture into the shells and set them into the prepared baking dish.
