Fried!!!! LOL! Seriously though I sometimes saute it like squash its good like that too.

<p>&lt;p&gt;Oh and you can make lasagna and inplace of the noodles use thin strips of eggplant. I make mine with fresh spinach too, and instead of ricotta I use low fat cottage cheese mix with egg and pepper. Frozen spinach looks nasty and just turns my stomach, fresh looks so much prettier. I do a layer of sauce a layer of thinly sliced (longways) eggplant, a layer of cottage cheese mixture,a layer of fresh spinach, a layer of ground beef mixed with sauce, a layer of mozzarella shredded chees, and keep repeating then top it with mozz and bake. It is outstanding and you never miss the pasta.&lt;/p&gt;</p>

Tomato sauce tip. If you make your own disreguard, but if you like store bought, I use the Hunts brand that comes in the can. I think it is garlic and herb. I like it cause it doesn't have any added sugar and it is the only one that doesn't. All the jar brands have added sugar and I don't like my tomato sauce sweet.</p>

I make a slow-cooker eggplant parmasian and the eggplant just melts in your mouth. Bread the eggplant, add sauce and cheese like you would for a normal parmesean receipe, and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
