Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (conventional) and heat a griddle pan over high heat. Wash and trim the aubergines and cut them lengthways into slices about 5 mm thick.
  2. Grill the slices for 3 minutes per side, until soft and marked by the griddle; work in batches without overlapping and season lightly with salt.
  3. Meanwhile mix the light ricotta with the egg, half the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and a pinch of salt until creamy. Season the tomato passata lightly with salt.
  4. In a single-portion baking dish spread a thin layer of passata, then alternate layers of aubergine, ricotta cream and basil leaves; finish with passata and the remaining Parmigiano.
  5. Drizzle with the oil and bake at 190 °C for 25 minutes, until bubbling at the edges and golden on top. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving, so it firms up.
