Cheesy Eggplant Rollatini Recipes

CHEESY EGGPLANT ROLLATINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sprinkle kosher salt over eggplant slices. Let excess moisture drain from eggplant, 10 to 15 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels and transfer to baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with black pepper.
• Combine spinach, onion, and garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until spinach is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with Italian seasoning.
• Mix Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and ricotta cheese together in a bowl. Stir in spinach mixture until well-combined.
• Spread 2 spoonfuls of spinach mixture evenly over each eggplant slice. Roll up eggplant.
• Spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange eggplant rolls seam-side down in the dish. Pour remaining marinara sauce over rolls. Cover with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, about 1 hour. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

EGGPLANT ROLLATINI

Steps:

• Dip the eggplant slices in egg, then coat with bread crumbs. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant on each side until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese onto each slice of eggplant. Place a slice of prosciutto onto each one. Roll up tightly, and place seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour spaghetti sauce over the rolls, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
• While the eggplant rolls are baking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender. Drain. Serve eggplant rolls and sauce over pasta.
