Eggplant Ricotta Casserole

Sunday, December 22, 2019
If you love Eggplant you are in for a real treat!


This is loaded with cheese and the perfect meal for any fan.


Using young fresh eggplant is a must when making this dish.


This casserole-style dish is so flavorful and perfectly layered like lasagna, except it's meatless.


Of, course if you want to add a layer of crushed meatball and sausage, have at it!


This is even great skipping the ricotta and layered with just mozzarella and Parmesan.


Create your own idea and how you like it, but this is an eggplant memorable casserole you will make time and time again it's so easy.


One of our other favorite recipes to try is our Zucchini Rollatini, it's off the charts delicious!


Another one of Mom's favorite recipe is Chicken Eggplant Pomodoro.
