Steps:
- Preheat the grill pan and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place a rack over a large baking sheet. Cut the 2 ends off the eggplant. Cut the eggplants lengthwise, into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange eggplant slices onto rack. Sprinkle with sea salt to help remove excess moisture and any bitterness from the eggplants. Set aside for about 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse off the salt from the eggplants and pat dry with a towel. Spray hot grill pan liberally with vegetable spray and then place eggplant slices on the grill until lightly browned on each side and tender, about 4 minutes per side. Remove slices from the grill pan and allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until lightly scrambled. Mix the ricotta in with the egg. Add mozzarella, 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts and gently combine. Fold in basil just to combine. Do not overmix.
- Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture on 1 end of the eggplant and roll up tightly. Place the eggplant rollatini into a greased (with olive oil) 13 by 9-inch baking dish, seam side down. Continue with remaining eggplant. Evenly distribute the tomato sauce on top of the eggplant rollatini. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining 5 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and bake for 15 minutes. When cooked, drizzle the top with extra-virgin olive oil.
- In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
- Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
- If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.
EGGPLANT ROLLATINI WITH ANCHOVY BREADCRUMBS
Bobby Flay is always up for a challenge: He has filmed more than 500 episodes of his competition show Beat Bobby Flay, and after facing off against some of the country's best chefs - and trying to one-up them on their own signature dishes - he now has a lot of recipes and tricks in his arsenal. In his latest cookbook you'll find many of his winning recipes, along with plenty from the chefs who beat him. "Some of the recipes are memorable for being challenging, some for being surprising and some for giving me the opportunity to cook with my favorite ingredients alongside good friends and some of the best chefs in the business," he says. These eggplant rollatini are a perfect example: He made the dish during season 18 in a battle with chef and cheese guru Tracey Shepos Cenami, and he won with the help of his anchovy panko breadcrumbs. Try them yourself!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚ F.
- Arrange the eggplant in an even layer on two sheet pans. Brush both sides with 6 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until lightly golden brown and very tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. (The eggplant can be cooked up to 1 day in advance, cooled and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.) Reduce the oven temperature to 375˚ F.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the tomatoes with their juices and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Crush the tomatoes with a potato masher. Add the chile paste and basil and cook the sauce until it thickens, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the filling: Mix together the ricotta, egg, diced mozzarella and 1/4 cup of the Pecorino in a medium bowl until combined. Season with salt and pepper and fold in the parsley and oregano.
- Ladle 1 cup of the sauce into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese filling over each eggplant slice. Carefully roll up and place them, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Once all the eggplant rolls are in the dish, ladle another cup of the sauce evenly over them and sprinkle the grated mozzarella and remaining 1/2 cup Pecorino over the top.
- Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted and turned lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top and garnish with torn basil, if desired.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the anchovies and cook until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the panko and spread into an even layer. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the crumbs, press them into an even layer again and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes longer. Add the lemon zest and season with pepper and more salt, if desired.
- Spread on a large plate or sheet pan and let cool. Store, tightly covered, in a cool, dry place for 1 day, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Re-crisp in a dry skillet over low heat before using.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, fry eggplant slices in olive oil until eggplant is flexible for rolling, about 3 minutes per side. (Eggplant can also be roasted in the oven: Brush slices with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Roast in 400-degree oven for 20 minutes, flipping eggplant halfway through cooking.)
- While eggplant is frying/baking, make filling: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of fresh ricotta, 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of fresh shredded mozzarella, 1 egg white, salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Drain eggplant on paper towel if fried. When eggplant has cooled about 10 minutes, begin the rolling process. On each slice, put about 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese mixture. Spread it on the eggplant. Next, place a slice of ham/prosciutto on top of the cheese, if using, and then roll. Repeat with all eggplant slices.
- Coat the bottom of a deep baking dish with tomato sauce. Start placing the rolled eggplants at the bottom of the pan. When pan is filled, put some sauce on the top of the eggplant. Sprinkle some more grated cheese on top. Finally, cut slices of fresh mozzarella cheese to place on top of each rollatini.
- Bake in a 400-degree oven for about 20 minutes. (If the eggplant was baked, 30 minutes is better.) The cheese should be melted and a little bubbling should be going on. Serve.

Steps:
- Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
- Cut off the stem of one eggplant, then slice 1/2 inch off one long side. Turn the eggplant onto the trimmed flat side and slice 1/2 inch off the 2 long sides, squaring it off slightly. Slice the eggplant into 6 long pieces, each about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the other eggplant. (Discard the trimmed pieces or reserve for another use.)
- Divide the eggplant slices between the prepared baking sheets. Brush both sides of each slice with the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake, flipping the slices over about halfway through, until just tender and starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Use a large spatula to transfer the slices to a cutting board in a single layer to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, stir together the ricotta, parsley, lemon zest, basil, 2 cups of the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the egg. Spoon a leveled 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture into the center of each eggplant slice and roll up tightly.
- Spread half of the tomato basil sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the rolled eggplant slices seam-side down in the center of the baking dish, making 2 rows of 6 and leaving space between the rows. Spoon the remaining sauce down the middle of the rolls, leaving the edges exposed. Top the rolls with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Bake, rotating the dish halfway through, until the eggplant is very tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

LOW FAT EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) ROLLATINI
This is a low fat version of a high fat classic. When selecting your eggplant for this recipe, chose long eggplants to accomodate the rolling. Simple & delicious. Also, for those of you who enjoy OMAC, this recipe can be added to your list. It was inspired by a recipe I wrote down from a PBS cooking show, that I altered a bit.

Steps:
- First make the sauce, in a large deep saute pan, over medium heat add the crushed tomatoes, water& red wine.
- Bring to a boil and then add the garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, sugar& fennel seeds, then reduce the temperature to a simmer.
- Simmer covered for 30-40 minutes until the sauce is reduced and thickened.
- Meanwhile, make the filling by combining in a medium bowl the ricotta, 1/2 cup fat free mozzarella, the parmesan, 1/8 tsp of black pepper& the parsley, stirring well to combine, then set aside.
- Slice each eggplant into*thinly* (1/8-1/4 inch thick) slices lengthwise.
- Try to achieve about 8 thin slices per eggplant, discarding the first and last slice.
- In a shallow pie plate, combine the breadcrumbs (or panko) and the 1/4 tsp pepper, oregano and Mrs Dash, then set aside.
- Brush both sides of each eggplant slice with the yogurt, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray and broil for 2 minutes, then turn over and broil the other side an additional 2 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- You will most likely need 3 baking sheets in total, and you want to broil each sheet seperately to ensure even browning of the eggplant.
- Once the eggplant slices are cool, place a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture on one end of each slice and roll up to cover the filling.
- In a 13x9 pan, spoon enough sauce to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Layer the eggplant rolls seam side down over the sauce.
- Ladle the remaining sauce over the eggplant rolls and top with 1/2 cup of reduce fat, part skim mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp of parmesan.
- Bake in a 350F oven for 30-45 minutes.
- For OMAC, make the sauce, then freeze it, then proceed with step# 5 and through step 11.
- Once you have made the rolls freeze them individually on a baking sheet.
- Once frozen remove from the baking sheet and store in freezer bags.
- When ready to proceed with the recipe, thaw the sauce, but DONOT thaw the rolls.
- Place the frozen rolls over the sauce as is in step 12, add the topping, then bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Steps:
- 1. *Note: I use a spray canister for my olive oil in this recipe, as to not drown the eggplant in oil. If you do not have one of these, use cooking spray or LIGHTLY drizzle in oil when cooking.
- 2. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
- 3. Cut the top and bottom off of your eggplants. Using a sharp knife, peel the entire eggplant.
- 4. Then, cut lengthwise until you have cut uniform "strips" of eggplant. I was able to cut eight strips from each of mine.
- 5. Mix breadcrumbs, grated cheese (Kraft), 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning and salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
- 6. In a separate bowl, whisk two of the eggs together with a dash of milk and salt and pepper.
- 7. Dredge each eggplant strip on both sides into egg mixture and then into breadcrumb/cheese mixture. Place on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray or olive oil. Continue until all are done. You will need two cookie sheets.
- 8. Lightly spray the side of the eggplant that's facing up with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes, turning half way through and ensuring the other side is sprayed with oil when you flip it over.
- 9. While eggplant is cooking, mix together ricotta, spinach, parsley, additional tablespoon of Italian seasoning, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper and the remaining egg.
- 10. When the eggplant is done (they should be a gorgeous, golden brown), place on a cutting board one strip at a time. Turn oven heat down to 350.
- 11. Place 1 cup of marinara sauce in a 9 x 13 x 2 baking dish.
- 12. Place ~ 1 Tbsp cheese mixture at the end of the eggplant furthest away from you. I found that it was easiest to sort of smash it down with the back of a spoon. Roll eggplant as though you would a jelly roll - staring from the furthest end and rolling toward you. Place eggplant, seal side down, into baking dish.
- 13. Continue until you have finished your 16 rolls.
- 14. Top each roll with 1 Tbsp marinara and 1 tsp fresh parmesan cheese.
- 15. Bake for 25 minutes until filling is warm.
EGGPLANT ROLLATINI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet; sprinkle with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of ice water alongside. Add the broccoli rabe to the pot and cook for a few minutes. Transfer to the ice bath. Drain, pat dry and chop finely.
- Combine the broccoli rabe, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan and egg in a food processor; process until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of the filling onto each slice of eggplant. Roll the slices up tightly and place, seam-side down, in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sweat the onions in some olive oil in a medium pan, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetable stock, crushed red pepper, tomatoes, garlic and oregano. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, toss the arugula with the red wine vinegar and some olive oil. Season with salt.
- Place a large spoonful of tomato sauce on each plate, top with an eggplant rollatini and some arugula salad. Sprinkle with basil and Parmesan.
