Easy Eggplant Involtini Eggplant involtini is typically a labor of love, involving roasting or frying eggplant slices, then stuffing them with a savory filling and baking. Using the microwave to cook the slices instead streamlines the process significantly. 4 Servings 23 minutesPrep Time 30 minutesCook Time 0 peopleloved this print Ingredients Directions Ingredients 1 eggplant (1 1/2 pound) 1 15 ounce container ricotta cheese 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil 1 garlic clove, grated 1 large egg, lightly beaten Cooking spray Bertolli® Traditional Marinara with Italian Herbs & Fresh Garlic Sauce 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese Directions Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Step 2: Trim stem end from eggplant. Cut eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices to yield at least 16 slices (it’s good to have a few extra). Arrange slices into a microwave-safe pie plate or casserole dish, overlapping to fit into dish evenly. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; pierce once to vent. Microwave on HIGH until eggplant is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine ricotta, 1/2 cup Parmesan, basil, garlic, and egg. Spoon about 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture onto wider end of each of 16 eggplant slices; roll up. Reserve any remaining eggplant for another use. Step 4: Coat a 13 x 9–inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1 cup Sauce in bottom of dish. Arrange eggplant rolls in dish; pour remaining Sauce over eggplant. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, at 425°F until bubbly and cheese melts, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
