Steps:
- Sprinkle the eggplant with salt. Place the eggplant in a colander, and let it drain for 30 minutes.
- Rinse the eggplant, and pat it dry.
- Cook the ziti al dente according to the package directions.
- Drain and rinse the pasta, and set it aside. Combine the oil and garlic, and smear it on the eggplant slices.
- Then sprinkle the slices generously with pepper.
- Broil the eggplant slices about 4 inches from the heat, turning them once, for a total of about 5 minutes.
- (You may have to do this in 2 batches.) In a large bowl, combine the ricotta or cottage cheese, all but 2 tablespoons of the parmesan, the parsley, basil, oregano, and pepper flakes.
- Toss the cheese mixture with the ziti.
- On the bottom of a 2-= to 3 quart casserole, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce, add half the ziti mixture, then half the eggplant slices, then half the remaining tomato sauce. Repeat the ziti, eggplant, and sauce layers.
- Top with the reserved 2 tablespoons of parmesan.
- Cover the casserole, and bake it in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover, and bake the casserole for another 15 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
