Eggplant Lasagna Roll Ups

Eggplant Lasagna Roll Ups are a tasty take on regular lasagna. Instead of pasta sheets, they use roasted eggplant slices. There is a tasty ricotta mixture inside these roll ups, and marinara sauce covers them all. They are baked until they are golden, and mozzarella cheese melts on top.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium eggplants, sliced lengthwise into thin strips
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Brush eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper

Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce on each eggplant slice

Place a dollop of the ricotta mixture on one end of each eggplant slice and roll up

Place the eggplant roll ups seam side down in a baking dish
