Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: 1-2 hrs
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (11 ounce size) whole tomatoes, undrained
2 tablespoons tomato paste, PLUS
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, PLUS
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
3/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 large eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
2/3 cup fat-free mozzarella cheese, shredded

Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and saute over low heat until onion is tender, about 6 minutes.

Arrange eggplant slices on a steamer rack, place in a large pot to which 1 inch of water has been added, and steam for about 5 minutes until eggplant is tender. Do not overcook.
Combine the mozzarella and cottage cheeses together and set aside.
Coat a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and place a layer of eggplant in the pan. Top eggplant with some of the sauce mixture and some of the cheese mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Repeat the steps in layers until all the ingredients are used.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes and serve hot.
