LOW FAT EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Slice eggplant about 1/4" thick, spray with non-stick spray.
• Place eggplant on a cookie sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until nicely browned.
• This can be done ahead of time, like on the weekend, so this is a lot quicker for a weeknight meal.
• Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with the non-stick spray and put a small amount of sauce in the bottom of it.
• Place a layer of eggplant on top of the sauce.
• Top the eggplant with the 2 kinds of mozzarella and sprinkle a little parmesan on top.
• Top with a little bit of sauce and continue layering until either the ingredients are used up or you run out of room in the pan (I usually get 3 layers in).
• Top off with the rest of the cheeses.
• Bake in a preheated oven 35-45 minutes or until cheeses are melted and sauce is bubbling.
• ENJOY!
