(sharon) #1
Eggplant Rollatini
Preheat the oven to
400°F. Trim stems off
3 medium eggplants
(2 1/2 to 3 lbs. total); slice
each lengthwise (24 to
32 slices total). Brush the
tops with 2 Tbs. olive oil.
Bake on two large baking
sheets (overlapping as
needed) until very tender,
25 to 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine
20 oz. part-skim ricotta
cheese, 1/3 cup grated
Parmesan, 2 eggs,
6 scallions, thinly sliced
(white and light-green
parts), 1/2 tsp. kosher salt,
and 1 lb. frozen chopped
spinach (defrosted, liquid
squeezed out).
Using a 24-oz. jar tomato-
basil sauce, spread
1/4 cup sauce into each of
two 8x8-in. pans. Scoop
2 to 3 Tbs. ricotta
mixture onto one side of
an eggplant slice, roll it
up, and tuck it in a pan.
Repeat until all the rollatini
are divided between
the pans. Pour remaining
tomato sauce over
the top and scatter with
1 1/2 cups shredded
mozzarella, dividing it
evenly. Bake until
bubbling, 30 minutes.
Let stand 10 minutes
before serving.
Serve one pan hot from
the oven.
