lasagna alla norma - Concetta ai fornelli

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while providing similar texture.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat, while cheddar is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while grana padano is a less expensive cheese.

tomato sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato puree

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes are often cheaper and can be blended into a sauce.

Slice the eggplants and grill or fry them until golden.

In a pan, sauté the garlic in olive oil, then add the tomato passata and basil, cooking until heated through.

In a bowl, mix the ricotta with milk, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper.

Layer the ingredients in a baking dish: start with a layer of tomato sauce, then eggplants, ricotta mixture, and repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.

Sprinkle grated ricotta salata on top of the last layer.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes.
