Ingredients

2 medium eggplant, each sliced lengthwise into 6 slices about 1/4-inch thick

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided

salt and ground black pepper

3/4 lb Italian sausage, casings removed

1 1/2 cups mozzarella, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, plus additional for sprinkling

2 cups prepared tomato sauce

1/4 cup basil leaves, torn

Directions

Lay eggplant slices out on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and ground pepper.

Roast in a 400 degree oven for about15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until eggplant is tender and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

While eggplant is roasting, in a medium skillet with brown sausage in olive oil, for about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and let cool in a medium bowl.

Mix mozzarella and Parmesan into sausage.

Spread a little tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish and sprinkle with torn basil.

Lay 2 pieces of roasted eggplant lengthwise on a cutting board, overlapping about an inch. Mound some sausage-cheese mixture at the short end of the eggplant slices. Roll it up and lay seam-side down on top of the sauce in the baking dish.

Repeat with the rest of the eggplant, there should be six of them.

Spoon more sauce over the top of the rolls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake 15 minutes, until eggplant is warmed through and cheese is bubbling.
