Ingredients
  

For the Rollatini
  • 2 medium Aubergines (Eggplants) Choose firm ones without blemishes for the best texture
  • 15 oz Ricotta Cheese This adds the creaminess that binds the filling together
  • 8 oz Shredded Mozzarella Melts beautifully to create a gooey topping
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil Offers aromatic freshness in each bite
  • 2 cups Marinara Sauce Essential for flavor and moisture; use store-bought or homemade
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Enhances the depth and savory richness of the filling
  • 2 cloves Garlic Provides essential aromatic flavor; fresh is best
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For brushing the aubergines to enhance roasting flavor
Optional Variations
  • 1 cup Chopped Spinach Fold into the filling for a nutritious boost
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Add for a spicy kick
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast Substitute for Parmesan for a dairy-free option

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Baking sheet
  • Medium bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Slice the aubergines into thin, even strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast the aubergine slices in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until softened but still holding their shape.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir in basil until well combined.
  5. Spoon a generous amount of the ricotta filling onto one end of each aubergine slice and roll them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour marinara sauce over the rollatini and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
