Tomato Sauce:

1 28 oz can whole tomatoes -- undrained

1 2/3 cups chopped onion

4 tablespoons red wine

2 cloves garlic -- minced

1 teaspoon dried marjoram

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 to 2 bay leaves

*********

2 medium Japanese eggplants (about 1/2 lb)

1 teaspoon freshly chopped Italian parsley

5 ounces egg-free, oil-free spinach lasagna sheets -- cooked

freshly chopped basil for garnish

 

To start the sauce, puree the tomatoes and set asite. Braise the onions in red

wine with the garlic, marjoram, oregano, and bay leaves. When the wine has been

reduced and the onions are tender, add the pureed tomatoes. Cook for

approximately 1 hour, stirring frequently. The sauce should become thick and

there should be little visible liquid. There should be 3 cups of sauce.

 

Cut the eggplant iinto 1/2-inch slices. Lay these out on a nonstick baking

sheet with a small amount of water. Sprinkle with parsley, cover, and bake at

350F for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the eggplant is soft throughout.

 

Preheat the oven to 350F. Ladle 1/2 cup of sauce on the bottom of an 8 x 6

1/2-inch pan. Top with a layer of noodles, more sauce, and a layer of the

eggplant. Repeat the layer of lasagna sheets, sauce, and eggplant. Add another

layer of pasta and sauce. Garnish with fresh basil. Cover the pan and bakke

for 20 to 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbling.

 

Description:

" A few strips of grilled eggplant placed over the last layer of pasta

before baking makes this dish a visual treat. "
