Made tonight for a healthy supper and happy that I did. I found that my eggplant wasn't quite done enough for our tastes, so I'd broil just a little longer - Instead of canned tomatoes, I used 3 medium fresh tomatoes and they were a fab addition. I did not use an egg like some other reviewers suggested and didn't feel like it really needed it - maybe it would have helped spread the thick ricotta cheese around a bit though. Like other reviewers noted, the end result was a bit runny, even after I let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes before cutting. Runny or not, it was very tasty and I think I'd make this one again!

    This lasagna was phenomenal. I am not a vegetarian and wanted a healthier lasagna without the pasta. I browned very lean ground beef, drained what fat there was, and added it to just my favorite jarred pasta sauce. I also doubled the amounts of cheeses and left out half of the bread crumbs since I wanted as little starch in this as possible, and added an egg and salt to my whole milk ricotta for better texture and to bring out the flavor. I ended up with a very flavorful lasagna with lean protein and lots of veggies. PERFECT!

    This was so delicious, if I hadn't made it i wouldn't know eggplant was even in there. I added an egg to the ricotta and a layer of mozerella in the middle. I also used a non-stick fry pan instead of a griller to brown the eggplant. I used Classico Tomato/pesto sauce (jar and a half) instead of making sauce to quicken it up. It was wonderful, even your non-vegetarian friends will like it! Having a mandolin to cut the eggplant evenly at 1/8 inch makes it much easier if you are lucky enough to have one. Next time I will peel the eggplant.

    This tastes great! It reminds of fresh chunky style Prego sauce with mozzarella. One thing that will help:Before doing the recipe chop and peel the eggplant. Submerse it in a bowl of saltwater for 20 min. This leeches the bitter taste out of it so that it will adapt to the flavor of your recipe.You will actually see brown water in 20 min time! Just drain it, rinse it, pat it dry and proceed with recipe. Another thing I did was use garlic olive oil..it really enhances the sauce.
