INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
1 medium Zucchini (196g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (124g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (113g)
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (28g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (124g)
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant and zucchini lengthwise into thin strips. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, gently mix the low-fat ricotta and cottage cheeses along with finely chopped fresh basil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Layer with roasted eggplant and zucchini slices, then spread a layer of the cheese mixture over the vegetables. Repeat layering until all components are used, finishing with a top layer of vegetables.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
