I really didn't feel like cooking today nor did I want to get (and pay for) takeout. After looking through the fridge I realized I had enough leftover eggplant to make a nice casserole type dish.
I simply took the leftover eggplant and layered it in my pyrex baking pan and spread a mixture of ricotta cheese,shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese and tomato sauce in between each layer.
It didn't take long to make and now I just have to pop it in the oven when it gets closer to dinner time.
A few times a week I like to have a meatless meal and this fits the bill.

That sounds so very delicious. I simply adore eggplant and have not had it in many years.
My Nana made the best eggplant Sicilian style.

@TiarasOceanView I thought to remember, because in fact the recipes are two, the southern "Parmigiana di Melanzane", the Northern "Melanzane alla Parmigiana".

Eggplant is very versatile and one of my favorites too.

I usually make my lasagna with pasta noodles and some sort of meat (either beef or sausage or both). I had the eggplant leftover so I figured why not use that and it came out really good

@Marilynda1225 My parents grow Japanese eggplants, the skinnier ones . . . I wonder if a lasagna would work with those!

@Marilynda1225 On Sunday I did a roast beef. And its so nice to have some roast beef leftovers for wraps during the week-my husband loves that as he dips it into some of the leftover gravy.

I made chili last night just because of the same thing, sometimes I do not want to cook.

@Marilynda1225 it does such when we all get this low on food and have to come up with something out of nothing.

It sounds good. I love eggplant parm personally. However, the last time I had it, I gained some weight..which is suprising with a veggie dish.

Eggplant isn't always the healthier choice especially if it's fried and covered with cheese. It also has a lot of sodium so maybe that's why you showed a little weight gain

I've had them as pizza toppings but have never had them as lasagna...

I have never grown own eggplants and would like to try one of these years. Homegrown have to be delicious.

@Marilynda1225 I have noticed that in the United States they do the Parmigiana southern Italy style. In the north we do not bread the eggplants, we fry them and we make several layers of sliced eggplants, a little tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella, never ricotta.

@LadyDuck I just threw in the ricotta because I had it and wanted to make it more like lasagna than the traditional eggplant parm. I never use ricotta in eggplant parm either

Eggplant Parmigiana is popular here too as it's usually just eggplant breaded and fried and then covered with sauce and mozzarella and baked. I love anything with eggplant
