I've had eggplant before, but I've never cooked it. I was excited about making one of my favorite comfort dishes a little more healthy, but honestly I didn't know how to prepare the eggplant for the dish. So I asked a couple people and read around a little. I ended up going with the slice long ways and roast in the oven approach.
I bought one large eggplant and drizzled with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Looking back on this step, I think I sliced too thinly and drizzled too much or maybe my oven wasn't at the right temp? What it came down to was that I felt the eggplant was a little too mushy.
How do I get it to be a little more firm? Any ideas? My hubby suggested adding smaller noodles like macaroni a or bow ties in addition to the veggies. It could work that way. I don't know if I would consider it to be a lasagna or more of a casserole at that point.
Will I try this eggplant lasagna again? Yea, I think so. I just need to figure out how to cook the eggplant more to my liking. Has something similar to this happened to you? Did it turn out unexpectedly good or a disaster? Share your story in the comments sections!
