This is one of my most favorite recipes. The key to this is to soak the eggplant slices in warm salt water to take out the bitter taste of the eggplant. This particular recipe you don't fry the eggplant , your bake it until lightly browned , transfer to a lasagna or 9x12 baking dish to finish making this great tasting dish. Serve with your favorite pasta ( I use angel hair or vermicelli).
