Steps:
- Season the eggplant slices on both sides with kosher salt and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes (if you don't have the time, this step can be optional).
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and position a rack in the middle.
- Wipe the eggplant slices very well with a paper towel (you want to dry it well and remove any excess salt), then arrange on lightly oiled baking sheet (or two if needed). Brush the top of the eggplant with extra virgin olive oil. Roast in the heated oven until the eggplant softens and becomes pliable (about 15 to 20 minutes or so).
- While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the ricotta filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg. Add the ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, ¼ Parmesan, garlic, oregano, spinach and chopped herbs. Add a small pinch of kosher salt and black pepper to your liking. Mix well to combine.
- Remove the eggplant from the oven. Lower the heat to 375 degrees F.
- Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Pour a bit of the pasta sauce (about ½ cup or so) and spread it out into one layer. Lay a few eggplant slices (anywhere from 4 to 6 and it's fine if they overlap a bit). Spread 1/2 of the ricotta filling, then spread a thin layer of the sauce. Repeat the process in the same pattern. Spread the final layer of sauce and follow with the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup of Parmesan.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake in the heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, then carefully uncover and return to the oven. Bake for another 10 to 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the lasagna turn a nice golden brown.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (218 C).
- Salt eggplant slices on both sides and arrange in a colander in the sink to remove excess water/bitterness for 15 minutes. (If using lasagna noodles, boil, drain and set aside.)
- Rinse salted eggplant slices well and dry thoroughly between two clean absorbent towels. Lay a baking sheet on top and place something heavy on top to absorb excess moisture.
- Arrange slices on 1-2 baking sheets in an even layer and bake oven for 13-15 minutes. Set aside and reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 C).
- While eggplant is baking, add all tofu filling ingredients to a food process or blender and pulse to combine, scraping down sides as needed. You are looking for a semi-pureed mixture with bits of basil still intact. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt and pepper for flavor, nutritional yeast for cheesiness, and lemon juice for brightness.
- Pour about 1/2-1/3 of the marinara sauce into an 8x8 baking dish (or similar sized dish) and reserve rest of sauce for topping / serving. Set aside.
- Scoop generous amounts (about 3 Tbsp) of ricotta filling onto each eggplant slice or lasagna noodle and roll up. Place seam side down in the sauce-lined baking dish. Continue until all filling and noodles or eggplant strips are used up. Pour more sauce down the center of the rolls for extra flavor (see photo).
- Bake for 15-23 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly and warm and the top of the rolls are very slightly browned.
- Serve immediately with additional vegan parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Leftovers keep for a couple of days, though best when fresh.

EGGPLANT LASAGNA ROLLS
Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike will devour these comforting lasagna rolls. We use thinly sliced eggplant in place of pasta to cut the carbs. Preroasting the eggplant helps develop the flavor and softens the slices for easy rolling.

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:
- 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.
