    the prep time does take a while, but the result is worth it! i added rosemary to my ricotta bc i didn't have that much basil. it was still great. i love the pine nuts' flavor. there were no leftovers!

    I love eggplant, but hubby hasn't liked any he has tried. I knew I was taking a big chance fixing this. Well, he loved it, asked for seconds, and said to fix it again. Thank you so much for this recipe, easy to fix, and very very good!

    This was rich and flavorful and will leave you wanting more. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it was an overly time consuming recipe. By the time you salt the eggplant, grill it, and let it cool so you can spread on the filling and roll it up, you're looking at close to 2 hours of work. The combination of pine nuts, basil, and ricotta was perfect. The only change I made was to add a little mascarpone to make it creamier. Oh, I also used Paul Newman's jarred tomato sauce. I served this to 2 of my friends and they both loved it so much they asked to take some leftovers home with them. This is also a relatively guilt-free dish in terms of calories. I'll definitely make this again.

    I needed to use up some italian sausage that I had on hand, so I made a meat sauce. It was fabulous. Other than the sauce, the only change I made was to add salt and pepper to the ricotta mixture. Ricotta is very bland and I did not think that the amount of parmesan would be sufficient. The eggplant was challenging to get into uniform slices, and the ones I messed up I put into the bottom of the casserole. I did not have a problem rolling them. After grilling them on my nonstick griddle and letting them cool, they were very pliable and held the filling nicely. The other change I made was to cover the dish for the first 15 minutes of baking time. Then I uncovered it, put some additional mozzerella and parmesan on top for another 10 minutes of baking. Be sure to let it rest a few minutes before serving. My only regret - not enough left over!! I halved the recipe.

    PS. I have been cooking Italian food all my life and so I know what the good stuff tastes like.

    great recipe - next time i will grill all the eggplant at once on the bbq to save time and give it a little more flavor.
