Step 1
Cut the eggplants into thick slices and transfer on to a baking sheet. Salt them lightly and let them sweat for about 10 minutes. Remove excess moisture with a paper towel. Drizzle olive oil all over the eggplant slices.

Light up the barbecue and grill them until they become tender and slightly charred.
Step 3
Using a 9x7 inch ceramic baking dish, assemble the lasagna starting with a drizzle of olive oil, the tomato sauce and 3 Barilla Oven-Ready Lasagne sheets. Add the grilled eggplant and spread the ricotta evenly. Repeat this step 5 more times and top with slices of mozzarella cheese.
Step 4
Bake at 375°F for about 40 minutes.
Step 5
Let it rest for about 15 minutes before serving and top with basil leaves a a drizzle of olive oil.

Oven-Ready Lasagne
Unlike the thicker wavy pasta sheets commonly used in North America, Oven-Ready Lasagne pasta sheets are rolled flat like homemade. It’s lasagna the authentic Italian way! These thin flat pasta sheets require no boiling, meaning they are ready to be layered and baked, saving time and effort. Since one box makes approximately 12 servings of lasagna, delivering a melt-in-your-mouth texture, it’s perfect for sharing with loved ones when hosting or making part of your meal prep routine.
