Eggplant Roll-Ups

Ingredients

  • 3 medium eggplants
  • 1 1/2 cups Schnucks part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/3 cup Schnucks shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 (10 oz.) bags Schnucks frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
  • 1/2 (14 oz.) pkg. firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 2 cups minced baby bella mushrooms
  • 2 Schnucks eggs
  • 2 tbsp. Schnucks dried basil
  • 2 tbsp. Schnucks minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium traditional pasta sauce, divided
  • 3 cups Schnucks cooked brown-and-wild rice, warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat 3 sheet pans with cooking spray.
  2. On a cutting board, trim off ends of eggplants, then cut each lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 6 per eggplant). Arrange in a single layer on prepared sheet pans. Bake 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool at room temperature. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together ricotta, 1/4 cup mozzarella, the Parmesan, spinach, tofu, mushrooms, eggs, basil and garlic until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  4. In a large baking dish, spread 1/2 cup pasta sauce. Add 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture onto each eggplant slice, roll up and transfer seam side down to prepared dish. Top with remaining pasta sauce and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Cover dish with foil.
  5. Bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese is golden brown, 10–15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before serving with rice.
