    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Pour 1/3 of sauce in bottom of 8x8 baking pan.

  8. 8

    Place eggplant slices on the sauce to make your first layer. Make sure pieces are close together or overlapping slightly.

  9. 9

    Spread some of the cheese mixture over the eggplant to make your next layer.

  10. 10

    Add a layer of eggplant and a cheese layer. (You may have extra cheese leftover, you can stuff some pasta with it.)

    The last layer should be eggplant and then pour the sauce over the top to cover it.

  12. 12

    Then top with a cup of shredded cheese. (Or more if you like it cheesy)

    Bake for 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and it is hot and bubbly around the edges of the pan.

  14. 14

    Let cool for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to cut and so it stays together.

buttering/grilling isn't necessary, adds a ton of fat & time. you can add spinach/veggies to pasta sauce too. I use fresh basil leaves/garlic too & add sauce at each layer. I've made this for years & everyone asks for it, even those that "don't like eggplant"!
