My new lasagna...OMG!!!

[tklg]

I had frozen some and will have it for lunch today. Will let you know if it tastes as good as fresh!

I froze mine and reheated as well it was just as good as originally.

I have Alton Brown on Good Eats suggest to salt the eggplant slice liberally to remove the water. I don't think it has much to do with bitterness. After you let them sit for 30 minutes you rinse and press each slice between paper toweling until all the excess water comes out.

At least for eggplant parmesan.

I made the lasagna this past weekend..and it was a good recipe but for some reason I got really sick. It's too bad my BF doesn't like eggplant because I love it!!!

Thanks for the recipe.

donnaz, I am also the only on at my house who will eat this. I cut the recipe in half and make in a 9x9 pan. After I have it for dinner ,I put the rest in single serving containers and freeze them. I take out one at a time and thaw and heat for a quick meal. It' the best! My husband won't do the South Beach Diet with me, so I cut most of the recipes in half. This week I made this recipe using zucchini instead of eggplant. I liked that even better.

Question about layering? do you actually put the sauce at the bottom of the pan before anything else? I've never made any type of lasanga, so I have no idea what I'm doing but I want to try this recipe. Thanks.

I layered it just like the recipe said, but I think I ended up with a little more sauce at the end so I topped it off with the rest of sauce followed by parm cheese. It is very good!

I made this last night and it was really good!

Still trying to find out if you bake it covered or uncovered. I know with regular lasagna, it makes a difference in the texture. THANK YOU!

[heypeety]

I baked mine uncovered, although I am not at all sure that is correct, but it sure turned out good.

I have to be a wet blanket but I tried this and no one in the family liked it. We have never eaten eggplant so I decided to try it. I imagine it is just a matter of taste.

We love eggplant and I made your recipe and it is ready to go into the oven. I think I will bake it covered with foil for half the time and then take the cover off to brown the cheese. I defrosted 2 chicken breasts that I had made a while ago in my George Forman grill and sliced it and layered it in the middle. I'll let you know how it came out. It looks delicious.

BTW, my husband sliced the eggplant on our electric slicer, I brushed the slices with olive oil and garlic and grilled them on my stove top grill. They seemed to turn out fine. Brown and just soft enough.

I've been cooking for umpteen years, but I must say that you guys and gals sure come up with fabulous recipes. Thanks loads.

I made something similar to this long before I saw the recipe (as someone else pointed out this is very close to eggplant parmesan). I liked it. Some people choose to use a mandolin slicer (you could use an electric slicer too) and slice zucchini lenthwise to use as the "noodles" in lasgne. I think I might prefer a mix of zucchini and eggplant.

Thanks for the replies about covering. Will try this soon.

Thank you onthelose for this amazing recipe. My husband asked if I was sure this was SB friendly. I just froze enough for a second meal and we will eat the rest tomorrow night with a salad. The best part was sneaking the rest out of the baking pan while cleaning the table.

I baked it at 375 covered for 30 minutes, then 20 minutes uncovered. I didn't put sauce on the top layer but I served it at the table.

This was so good!
