LIGHTER EGGPLANT PARMESAN



Lighter Eggplant Parmesan image

This Lighter Eggplant Parmesan is one of my favorite ways to eat eggplant. No breading, just eggplant, cheese and marinara.

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds eggplant (1 large or 2 medium)
olive oil spray
1 teaspoon kosher salt
12 ounces part-skim ricotta (Polly-o is the only brand I use)
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Pecorino Romano
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1 large egg
2-1/2 cups part-skim mozzarella (I used Sargento)
4 cups homemade tomato sauce or jarred marinara

Steps:

  • Start by making the sauce if you don't have any already made.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray 2 sheet pans with oil.
  • While the sauce simmers, slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick slices. Transfer to the prepared pans, it's ok if they overlap slightly. Season with salt. Bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through until eggplant is golden.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine ricotta, egg, parsley and 1/4 cup of grated cheese.
  • Put 1/2 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9x12 baking dish, add 1/3 of eggplant to cover the bottom of the dish. Top with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 3/4 cup of the sauce. Add another layer of eggplant and repeat the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and sauce two more times, reserving the third layer of mozzarella for topping. Finish with 1 1/2 cups of sauce, remaining mozzarella, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated cheese.
  • Heat the oven to 400F.
  • Cover with foil and bake until cheese is melted and everything is bubbling, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.
  • Take it out of the oven and let it sit about 10 minutes before cutting.

LIGHTER EGGPLANT PARMESAN



Lighter Eggplant Parmesan image

Baked eggplant and a healthier bechamel sauce match up in an Italian classic made virtuous. In this lighter recipe, the cheeses are on top, instead of in layers, with a creamy pink sauce underneath.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large eggplant (2 pounds), sliced 1/2 inch thick crosswise
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup fat-free (skim) milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup homemade or best-quality store-bought marinara sauce
1/2 cup grated part-skim mozzarella
1/3 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Arrange eggplant on two rimmed baking sheets. Brush eggplant on both sides with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and very tender, 20 to 25 minutes, turning slices and rotating sheets halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, make sauce: Off heat, in a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup milk, flour, and garlic. Gradually whisk in remaining 3/4 cup milk and 1/2 cup marinara sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until pink sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Alternate layers of baked eggplant with pink sauce. Dollop with remaining 1/4 cup marinara sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake on upper rack until browned and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Salt your eggplant slices and let them "sweat" in a colander for 30 minutes. If you don't have 30 minutes, at least let them sweat for 10 minutes.
  • Wipe the eggplant with a paper towel or cloth and arrange them on the baking sheets. Brush with a little bit of oil and broil for 4-6 minutes or until browned on top. Make sure to check after 3 minutes so your eggplant isn't burned.
  • Meanwhile, make the cashew mozzarella by combining water and cashews and blend on high until very smooth. Add in lemon juice, garlic clove, onion powder, and cornstarch and blend until combined. Reserve for later.

  • Slice eggplant into thin rounds slightly less than 1/2 inch thick, and sprinkle each side liberally with sea salt. Arrange in a circular pattern in a colander and place in the sink to draw out the bitter taste of the eggplant.
  • Let rest for 15 minutes, then rinse and arrange on a clean absorbent kitchen towel. Top with another clean dish towel and lay a baking sheet on top. Place something heavy on top, such as a cast iron skillet, to thoroughly dry for at least 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with foil and spritz with nonstick spray. Also, if making pasta, bring water to a boil in a large saucepan.
