Low Fat Eggplant
Bake
1 large or 2 medium eggplants—about 1 pound
1 jar low-sodium marinara sauce
1 15-ounce tub fat-free ricotta cheese, drained
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 230C. Slice eggplant
lengthwise to a 1/4 inch thickness. Place on large cookie sheet
coated with cooking spray. Roast eggplant until tender, about 20
minutes, turning once half-way through.
When the eggplant is done, remove from oven
and set aside.
Reduce oven heat to 175C.
Place baby spinach in microwaveable dish and
sprinkle with water. Cook until just wilted. Squeeze dry.
Spoon on-third of the marinara sauce on the
bottom of an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish. Lay one-third of
eggplant slices over sauce, followed by one-third of the spinach
and one-third of the ricotta cheese. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with
parmesan cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbling.
Serve with a green salad. |
