If you’re in the mood for Italian food but tired of pasta, try these delicious Eggplant Rolls. They are simple to make and filling enough to be the main course. It’s a perfect vegetarian dish!
Ingredients: All ingredients are to taste
Eggplant – sliced lengthwise (approx 1/3 to 1/2 inch slices)
Salt
Oil
Ricotta Cheese
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Powder or Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Green Chilies – finely chopped
Chopped Basil and Parsley
Crushed Red Chili Flakes
Pasta/Spaghetti Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese
Method:
1. Place Eggplant slices in a colander and generously salt them. Leave them to “sweat” for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine Ricotta Cheese, Garlic Salt, Crushed Red Chili Flakes, Italian Seasoning, Black Pepper, Green Chilies and chopped Basil and Parsley. Mix well and keep aside. Tip – use one heaping dinner spoon of ricotta cheese per each slice of eggplant.
3. Rinse off salt from Eggplant and gently squeeze out water or blot it with a paper towel.
4. Heat a little Oil on a skillet and cook eggplant slices until lightly brown on both sides.
5. Allow the eggplant to cool enough to be able to touch it.
6. Place a heaping spoon of the Ricotta Cheese mixture on the wide end of the cooked eggplant and roll the eggplant all the way.
7. Place the rolled eggplant in a lightly oiled baking dish and repeat until all eggplant slices are rolled.
8. Spoon spaghetti sauce over the eggplant rolls to coat them.
9. Bake uncovered in a 425 degree Fahrenheit oven for 20 – 25 minutes (until cheese is heated all the way through).
10. Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce and Broil in the oven for few minutes until cheese is melted and lightly brown. Garnish with chopped Basil and Parsley.
11. Server hot with bread and salad.

Hi Rita,
Sure, you can make the eggplant dish without rolling the eggplant. Just layer them in a casserole dish with the cheese filling, similar to lasagna. Rolling them makes them easier to serve — no cutting.
Check out our Spinach/Carrots pulao recipe – it’s yummy!

Excellent idea! Sometimes the eggplants are not big or thick enough to cut length-wise. So, that is a great tip if you run into that problem:)

Can I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese?

We’ve never tried it with cottage cheese, but you may be able to “grind” the cottage cheese so that the granules go away. Of course, the taste will be different.

Hi Everyone,
I haven’t tried this dish yet, but looks yummy. One thing I would do differently is use primavera sauce instead of regular pasta sauce. I use primavera sauce when making lasagna and it taste delicious. I let the primavera sauce simmer with added salt, red pepper, red vine, one med. size tomato diced and a pitch of sugar to cut the tartness and it adds a wonderful taste.
Try it.
