Ingredients

  • 1 peeled eggplant, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 1¼ pounds)
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 cup pasta sauce, divided
  • 2/3 cup (about 3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh parmesan cheese

 

Preparation

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; broil 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat; add onion and next 5 ingredients (onion through zucchini). Cover and cook 7 minutes or until tender, stirring mixture occasionally. Increase heat to medium-high; uncover and cook for 2 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
  5. Spread half of mushroom mixture in bottom of a 1½-quart round baking dish coated with cooking spray. Arrange half of eggplant slices over mushroom mixture; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Top with 1/2 cup pasta sauce and 1/3 cup mozzarella. Spread remaining mushroom mixture over mozzarella; top with remaining eggplant slices. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon pepper; top with remaining pasta sauce. Cover and bake at 375° for 1 hour.
