Description

This eggplant lasagna is a Mediterranean dream! Instead of classic pasta, I use juicy eggplant slices layered with a hearty Bolognese, creamy ricotta and melted mozzarella. A touch of fresh spinach provides an extra serving of vitamins. I especially like to make this lasagna in the summer when eggplants are in season. It is perfect for a cozy dinner with friends or family and can also be prepared well in advance. If you like, you can sprinkle it with some arugula before serving.
