Ingredients
-
1 medium eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
-
1 (16 ounce) package dry ziti pasta
-
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
-
2 eggs, beaten
-
1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded
-
½ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
-
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, or your favorite recipe
-
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Place the eggplant slices in a bowl, and sprinkle with salt. Let drain over a bowl in the refrigerator for at least an hour. I like to do this overnight.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti pasta, and cook for about 6 minutes, or until almost tender. It will cook the rest of the way in the oven. Drain. Mix together the ricotta cheese and eggs in a small bowl. Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese and Pecorino Romano cheese.
-
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange layers of eggplant, cheese, ziti pasta, and more sauce all the way to the top of the pan. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
-
Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until heated through and cheese is lightly browned.
