Ingredients
-
1 (1 1/2 pound) eggplant, halved lengthwise
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
8 ounces bulk Italian sausage
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
-
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 cups spaghetti sauce, divided
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
-
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
-
1 egg, beaten
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Brush cut sides of eggplant with olive oil; place, cut-sides up, onto a baking sheet.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then allow to cool slightly. Keep the oven on.
-
Meanwhile, brown Italian sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat; drain off grease. Transfer sausage to a mixing bowl; season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Stir in 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, and egg; mix well.
-
Scoop out flesh of roasted eggplant, once cooled, to within 1/2-inch of the skin to create a shell. Roughly chop eggplant flesh; fold into sausage mixture. Divide evenly among two eggplant shells; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling has set and the cheese is bubbly and golden-brown, about 30 minutes. While the eggplant is baking, warm the remaining 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat to serve with the eggplant.
