Eggplant Lasagna

I know we don't really want to put our ovens on at the moment but just in case... I found this recipe on Southern Food.com  http://southernfood.about.com/od/eggplantrecipes/r/bl30222e.htm

Eggplant Lasagna 

Cook Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds eggplant, thinly sliced
  • vegetable spray
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 16 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) spaghetti sauce with vegetables (I always make my own especially with so many tomatoes about)
  • 8 ounces ricotta cheese, part-skim
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

In large nonstick skillet sprayed with vegetable spray, quickly brown eggplant slices; set aside. 
In the same skillet in hot olive oil, cook onion for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. 
Cook lasagna noodles in boiling salted water according to package directions. Into an 11x7-inch baking dish, spoon about 1/4 of the sauce. 
Arrange three alternate layers of lasagna noodles, ricotta, mushroom mixture, mozzarella cheese, eggplant slices, sauce and Parmesan cheese. Bake eggplant lasagna at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes.
