The ingredients for Eggplant and Sausage Parmesan are:

1 eggplant cut into 3/4 inch slices
1/2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
8 oz ricotta cheese (part skim)
6 oz mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp dried basil, or 1/2 cup chopped fresh
4 cups tomato sauce, no salt added
italian seasoning (no salt added)

Here is how you make Eggplant and Sausage Parmesan:

1. Sprinkle both sides of the eggplant slices with salt. Place slices in a colander, and place a dish underneath the colander to capture liquid that will sweat out of the eggplant. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Mix in egg and basil. 3. Rinse the eggplant in cold water until all salt is removed. In a large skillet, brown sausage, drain the fat. Put to the side. Then heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Place one layer of eggplant in the pan, brown each side. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices, using additional oil if necessary. 4. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, evenly spread 1 1/2 cups of spaghetti sauce. Arrange a single layer of eggplant slices on top of the sauce. Top the eggplant with 1/2 of the cheese mixture and sausage. Repeat layering process until all the eggplant and cheese mixture is used. Pour remaining sauce on top of layers, and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. 5. Bake 30 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until sauce is bubbly.Makes 8 large servings.
