Ingredients

For the Tomato Sauce:

1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups finely chopped white onion
6 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons salt
4 cups canned chopped San Marzano tomatoes, with juice
1 cup white wine
2 cups beef stock or water
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves

For the eggplant:

12 baby eggplants
Salt
2 pounds beef sage sausage
2 cups tomato sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, grated or sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, add oil. Add the onions, garlic, and salt. Sweat for 3 minutes or until vegetables are translucent and aromatic. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 8 hours over low heat, stirring occasionally. Check seasoning.

Cut eggplants in half, scoop out seeds, and sprinkle with salt, cut side up. Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet and let sit for 1 hour. Place 1 1/2 ounces of sausage in each eggplant half. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Top each eggplant with some tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Place back into oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts.

to much salt....
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I think the salt was supossed to be 2 teaspoons not tablespoons. After I cooked it for a second time it was great. It does... take 8 hours to cook. It was so thick and rich! Great recipe and very easy. I also used regular white wine. Cooking wine can also be very salty.Read more

Confused
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I am not sure whether it is the recipe or not but after eight hours the sauce just tasted weird. I threw it out and used an... old family recipe for tomato sauce. It turned out great! Can someone tell me if 8 hours is the proper time for the sauce to cook or was that a typo?Read more

It takes 8hr 30mins to cook the sauce, which also includes 2 tablespoon of salt. But the first step is to preheat the oven... to 350. Has anyone noticed this.Read more
