Steps:
- Cut the 2 ends off the eggplants. Cut the eggplants lengthwise, into 1/4-inch thick slices until you have a total of 10 slices about the same size. It's easiest to do this with a mandolin.
- Sprinkle the eggplant with kosher salt to help remove excess moisture and bitterness from the eggplants. Set aside for about 10 to 15 minutes. Pat dry with a towel.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Season the eggplant with a little more salt and pepper, then arrange on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover tightly with foil and bake until eggplant is tender and pliable but NOT fully cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce on the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg then mix together with ricotta, Pecorino Romano, spinach, garlic, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
- Pat eggplant dry with paper towels. Dividing the ricotta-spinach mixture (about 2 generous tablespoons each) evenly and spoon onto one end of each eggplant slice, spreading to cover. Starting at the short end, roll up slices and arrange them each seam side down in the prepared dish. Top with remaining marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese and tightly cover with foil.
- Bake until the eggplant is very tender, about 60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving with additional Pecorino Romano if desired.

Steps:
- Spoon the ricotta into a fine strainer placed over a bowl in the refrigerator for several hours. Discard the excess liquid. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread thin coating of olive oil on 3-4 baking or cookie sheet pans, or reuse the same pan several times.
- Put the flat end of the eggplant down onto the cutting board. Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices, to make about 15 slices. Beat 4 of the eggs. Add salt and pepper to season eggs. Coat each eggplant slice with flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, drain any excess egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs and lay flat on baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- You may have to bake them in batches. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.
- Combine ricotta, remaining egg, garlic, basil, parsley, 3/4 of the mozzeralla cheese and 1/2 cup of the grated Romano or Parmesan in a bowl. Mix well. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spoon 1 cup of tomato sauce onto the bottom of a small baking dish. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling onto the wide end of each piece of eggplant. Then, roll up each piece and place into the baking dish.
- Top with remaining tomato sauce, mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, until the tomato sauce is bubbling and the filling is hot. Let them rest for 15 minutes before serving.

LOW FAT EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) ROLLATINI
This is a low fat version of a high fat classic. When selecting your eggplant for this recipe, chose long eggplants to accomodate the rolling. Simple & delicious. Also, for those of you who enjoy OMAC, this recipe can be added to your list. It was inspired by a recipe I wrote down from a PBS cooking show, that I altered a bit.

Steps:
- First make the sauce, in a large deep saute pan, over medium heat add the crushed tomatoes, water& red wine.
- Bring to a boil and then add the garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, sugar& fennel seeds, then reduce the temperature to a simmer.
- Simmer covered for 30-40 minutes until the sauce is reduced and thickened.
- Meanwhile, make the filling by combining in a medium bowl the ricotta, 1/2 cup fat free mozzarella, the parmesan, 1/8 tsp of black pepper& the parsley, stirring well to combine, then set aside.
- Slice each eggplant into*thinly* (1/8-1/4 inch thick) slices lengthwise.
- Try to achieve about 8 thin slices per eggplant, discarding the first and last slice.
- In a shallow pie plate, combine the breadcrumbs (or panko) and the 1/4 tsp pepper, oregano and Mrs Dash, then set aside.
- Brush both sides of each eggplant slice with the yogurt, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray and broil for 2 minutes, then turn over and broil the other side an additional 2 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- You will most likely need 3 baking sheets in total, and you want to broil each sheet seperately to ensure even browning of the eggplant.
- Once the eggplant slices are cool, place a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture on one end of each slice and roll up to cover the filling.
- In a 13x9 pan, spoon enough sauce to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Layer the eggplant rolls seam side down over the sauce.
- Ladle the remaining sauce over the eggplant rolls and top with 1/2 cup of reduce fat, part skim mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp of parmesan.
- Bake in a 350F oven for 30-45 minutes.
- For OMAC, make the sauce, then freeze it, then proceed with step# 5 and through step 11.
- Once you have made the rolls freeze them individually on a baking sheet.
- Once frozen remove from the baking sheet and store in freezer bags.
- When ready to proceed with the recipe, thaw the sauce, but DONOT thaw the rolls.
- Place the frozen rolls over the sauce as is in step 12, add the topping, then bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill pan and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place a rack over a large baking sheet. Cut the 2 ends off the eggplant. Cut the eggplants lengthwise, into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange eggplant slices onto rack. Sprinkle with sea salt to help remove excess moisture and any bitterness from the eggplants. Set aside for about 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse off the salt from the eggplants and pat dry with a towel. Spray hot grill pan liberally with vegetable spray and then place eggplant slices on the grill until lightly browned on each side and tender, about 4 minutes per side. Remove slices from the grill pan and allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until lightly scrambled. Mix the ricotta in with the egg. Add mozzarella, 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts and gently combine. Fold in basil just to combine. Do not overmix.
- Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture on 1 end of the eggplant and roll up tightly. Place the eggplant rollatini into a greased (with olive oil) 13 by 9-inch baking dish, seam side down. Continue with remaining eggplant. Evenly distribute the tomato sauce on top of the eggplant rollatini. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining 5 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and bake for 15 minutes. When cooked, drizzle the top with extra-virgin olive oil.
- In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
- Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
- If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

LOW-FAT, GOOD FAT EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CASSEROLE
This is adapted from an old Pennsylvania Dutch casserole to fit my ballet diet:) It is extremely good, low fat and has no "empty calories"- everything fits into the AHA/Diabetic Exchange system. Original credit goes to Rachel Sitler of Berwick, PA for a great, versatile recipe. 1 additional cup of tomato juice can be substituted for tomatoes to make a spaghetti sauce or salsa base. Squash or zucchini, of equal volume and in season, can be used instead of eggplant. This recipe always turns out very good, but I have found that its texture varies greatly with small adjustments in temperature, and from oven to oven. Experiment a little first before planning a dinner party around it:) Serves 3-4. Store leftovers for up to four days.

HEALTHIER EGGPLANT PARMESAN II
I like this recipe because it is not fried and very tasty. I like to make it healthier by using whole wheat breadcrumbs and reducing the amount of fat. Also, by using mostly egg-whites instead of whole eggs I am able to reduce the cholesterol level.

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!
