PREPARATION:

1. Separate the utensils and ingredients for the recipe.
2. Choose one or more refractories of a size compatible with the number of portions you are preparing, so that the layers of lasagna, once overlapped, cover the entire bottom and it is possible to make 4 layers.
3. This recipe uses a sauce that does not undergo any prior cooking and since the aubergine slices have already been grilled, the cooking time can be shorter, enough to reduce the sauce and brown the lasagna. Then adjust the quantity of sauce so that it is not excessive and there are no residues left after cooking.
4. Cut the aubergine(s) into thin slices (it is easier to use a serrated knife), place them on a cutting board and slice them “lying down”, making the cut parallel to the cutting board.

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat
2. Add the aubergine slices (a little at a time, without overlapping them).

4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Seasoned tomato sauce (without cooking):

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Spread a thin layer of seasoned tomato sauce on the bottom of the baking dish(s).
3. On top of the sauce, place a layer of aubergine slices, overlapping each slice by at least 2 fingers.
4. Spread cream cheese on top or spread ricotta.
5. Cover with a layer of seasoned tomato sauce, enough to moisten the slices, without excess.
6. Place the mozzarella on top and sprinkle with grated parmesan.
7. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of tomato sauce and grated mozzarella and parmesan on top.
