Here is how you make Low Carb Eggplant Lasagne:

Slice your eggplant into half centimeter slices, and grill it until the majority of the water is cooked out of it. Use salt to assist in removing any bitter taste but try to minimise how much you use.While the eggplant is grilling, saute your onion, carrot, zuccini, and fresh tomatoes. Brown the minced beef and add to the vegetable mix. By the time all of this is done your eggplant should be cooked.Put the cottage cheese, romano cheese, minced garlic and black pepper into an electric mixer and buzz it until it's smooth to make your 'bechemel' sauce. Depending on the consistency of your cream cheese you may need to add a half cup of water to make it into a 'sauce'.Once that's done, layer eggplant into a large casserole dish. Follow by a layer of the meat/veg mix, then dollop bechemel on top. You will only need to use a small amount of the bechemel for each layer as it's quite strong and using a lot will overpower the taste of the meat/veg layer.Once you've completed all the layers, top with cheese (if you wish, but I recommend not as the romano gives enough flavour) and bake in the oven for half an hour to 45 minutes at around 180 degrees Celsius.Serving Size: Makes 6 large servings (Serving sizes are larger to allow for appropriate protein serve for males)Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user COWGRRRL.
