Ingredients




3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 jar pasta sauce
1 1/2 pounds eggplant, sliced
2 cups bag of Italian Style Cheese
1 cup basil leaves, chopped

Preparation

1 Put the eggplant on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Place under the broiler until soft. Remove and allow to cool. 2 Meanwhile, heat the sauce in a small saucepan. Heat the remaining oil and cook the onion for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the onion and garlic to the sauce. 3 Arrange the eggplant across the bottom of a 8 x 6 baking dish and then scatter cheese on top. Repeat layers until you run out of eggplant. Finish off with sauce, basil and remaining cheese. Bake for 40 minutes and 375. 4 Optional: If you prefer you can fry the eggplant in a bit of olive oil. Then, soak up oil on a paper towel.
