Mmmmmm.
Tonight we cook an old favorite healthy dish.
A Superior Eggplant Lasagna.
I modified this dish for maximum dieting, maximum flavor, and maximum belly-filling.
I make this in a standard bread pan so it heaps up and since I live alone there's no need to make more than this.
Preheat oven @ 350
Coat bread pan with Pam
Grease a skillet with Extra Virgin Olive Oil - use a rag or paper towel to slick up the skillet, we don't want any excess.
Peel the eggplant and cut into 1/4" slabs length-wise and sautee` on med-hi heat for 2 minutes on each side.
Drop in the mushrooms in same skillet after the eggplant is done, drizzle in a lil EVOO if needed but try to deglaze the skillet with the eggplant remnants. Sautee` mushrooms for a few minutes till edges brown up a bit.
Brush the bottom of the bread pan with Ragu and start layering eggplant, ragu (brushed on eggplant), mushroom, grated cheese, and italian seasonings - be liberal with the seasonings. keep layering till full or run out of stuff.
bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
This is Good Eats and easy on the waistline. You shouldn't exceed 300 cals for the whole dish and have a tough time eating the whole thing in one sitting. The key here is to BRUSH on the ragu and sprinkle the grated cheese for taste only.
Enjoy !!
