Layers of roasted eggplant stand in for noodles in this veggie-rich twist on lasagna. Baked with ricotta, mozzarella, house-roasted tomato sauce, and parmesan, it’s finished with fresh basil and lemon zest.

texture of the eggplant skin was unpleasant.

Very enjoyable but the eggplant skin kept it from being forkable

Really good if you're craving something cheesy like pizza but low carb. I like my eggplant a little softer, but there's no bitterness, and tastes delicious.

Loved the cheese and sauce, but the bottom layer of eggplant tasted super bitter.

Seasoning was good and good amount of cheese but the eggplant was massive and was not consistently cooked

This was amazing. I discovered in Italy last uear that I really like eggplant! However, US eggplant is bitter unless I buy it organic at Whole Foods. I bought an eggplant parm casserole from our best Italian deli and it went in Trash!! Lol. This was DELICIOUS! I hadcto chew around some of the tough skin but it was worth it. Lots of cheese and wonderful flavors.

Eggplant was raw, tough as shoe leather, and released water into the tray during baking, creating a slush. I don't for a second believe Chris Ratel's Nonna served Eggplant like this. Ever! Yuck.

Egg plant was not tender and very hard to slice through with the skin.

Couldn’t cut through the eggplant.

Texture of the eggplant was odd. It is hard to describe somewhat like rubber. I don’t know what you do to eggplant to get that texture.
Michael · 04/11/26
This one was not appetizing at all. Slimy and tough and the flavor was strange.
Erin · 04/11/26
eggplant tough and lots of skin. did not enjoy
Christopher · 04/10/26
This was really good! I hope it comes in version with noodles & no meat to keep it vegetarian!

This dish is inedible. It's filled with hard chunks of eggplant. I could barely cut even with a sharp knife. Just for feedback, I baked mine for 20 minutes and then had to microwave because it was still oddly cold. Would not order.
