Lasagne con melanzane e ricotta

Lasagne con melanzane e ricotta is a traditional lasagna dish originating from Italy. The dish is usually made with a combination of lasagne pasta, eggplants, butter, pine nuts, ricotta, tomato paste, basil, olive oil, salt, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. The eggplants are cut into slices, salted, drained, and broiled until tender. An ovenproof dish is greased with butter and layered with cooked lasagne sheets, eggplant slices, pine nuts, ricotta, tomato paste, and basil. The mixture is drizzled with olive oil and the process of layering is repeated. The final layer is sprinkled with grated cheese and the dish is baked in the oven until golden and bubbling.
