I really enjoyed this recipe. I already had my own simple tomato sauce so I didn't use Giada's this time. The pine nuts really added a nice texture to the filling. I had them on hand because I am making pesto, but you could easily leave them out. I would make this recipe again.

You'll spend some time frying (I actually timed the frying to exactly 4 minutes per side which she recommends & works perfectly but it's worth it! I thought it might not be good without bread crumbs & egg, but it's delicious. I used my own sauce, not the 'simple sauce' that goes with the recipe. I also cooked it for double the time recommended (it was fine as I didn't feel the eggs would be cooked in only 15 minutes of baking.

I served this for Christmas dinner & everyone loved it.

WOW! What a surprisingly flavorful dish.

My sister visited us in Canada and prepared this dish as the second course. Typical for most, the word eggplant conjures up parallels such as bland, boring and too vegetarian - similar to tofu.

Everyone at dinner (7ppl were in awe over this dish. Everything from its texture, flavor and a colourful presentation were present. Whether your vegetarian or a carnivore, this dish is meaty.

I own a Deli and took the leftovers to staff the next day and also handed off a few bites to a couple regular customers. Their responses echoed the dinner guests.

I made this a lot last summer because we had so many eggplants from our garden. My husband loved it. I used the idea of grilling (or baking the eggplant slices and used some of the same ricotta filling and made eggplant or veggie lasagna which was delish as well.

I was able to have 2 dinners for two from this recipe, which was helpful. Even though I cut the recipe for the filling in half I still had left over which I threw out. The sauce was very flavorful which I then used over pasta.

Hi, I love Giada's recipes. I'm just not sure why there are two of the same recipe for Eggplant Rollatini for Giada. They are exactly the same ingredient wise, but the Prep time and cook time are different. Is this just a mistake? Please verify.

Thanks,

Eva

I had fun making this and learned alot about eggplant. I think the sauce is what made me not like it. It was to greasy. May try it again but with my own sauce.

I can't cook. I thought this looked like a nice dish to try. It was very easy and I was pleased with it. The only thing I want to add next time is portabello mushrooms! That sounds good to me!

I made this as a side dish for a dinner party, and everyone loved it. Time consuming to make, but impressive looking and tasting. However, there must be a typo on the amount of ricotta. I doubled the recipe since I was making this for 14, and I ended up with 3x more filling than I needed. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all I have left over. I'd say a 16 oz container would be plenty for a single batch.
