Similar to my Italian Stuffed Peppers, my Eggplant Lasagna uses several vegetables to keep us working towards adding as many vegetables as possible into our daily routine. This lasagna is a mix of spinach, zucchini, onions, tomatoes (however, botanically speaking, tomatoes are actually a fruit), and then, you guessed it, the eggplant. I think you’ll see after trying it, it still fits the profile of being a tasty comfort food. It still has plenty of the cheese, the tomato base, and the spices we love with Italian food but without the high-carb noodles.
Oh, and just a word or two of warning, if you didn’t already know. Any recipe with tomatoes will easily add more carbs so watch for pasta sauces that contain added sugar and canola oil (high in omega 6s) rather than a good fat, such as organic extra virgin olive oil. And, for those more prone to acid reflux, you may just want to include a good portion of salad to eat with this dish. Tomatoes are acidic.
