Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 32 mins

Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggplants
  • Salt for sprinkling
  • 575g jar Leggo’s Chunky Pasta Sauce - Bacon Bolognese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese, grated
  • Filling:
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 200g fresh ricotta
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • ½ cup fresh white breadcrumbs

Instructions

Step 1

Slice eggplant lengthways into 18 thin slices. Reserve two slices and cut them into small dice and set aside until required. Sprinkle whole slices with salt and leave in a colander to drain for ½ hour. Pat eggplant dry, brush with oil and place onto tray under preheated grill. Cook for approximately 2 minutes each side, or until soft.

Step 2

For the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine beaten egg, ricotta, diced eggplant, grated parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling on one end of grilled eggplant. Roll up to form a cylinder. Repeat to make 16 rolls.

Step 3

Spoon ½ jar Leggo’s Chunky Pasta Sauce into the base of a greased large shallow casserole dish. Arrange filled eggplant on top. Spoon remaining sauce over the rolls, sprinkle with combined parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes.
