After a short break from writing in my blog, I'm back with a decadent Italian comfort food... Eggplant Parmigiana in the style of Rollatini. Eggplant Rollatini is typically made with ricotta but in this recipe, I only made use of Mozzarella which was the only cheese at hand. Although I made it extra special and used fresh mozzarella balls for the topping. There's two components to this dish. The ragu sauce and the eggplant rolls. You can make the sauce ahead or even buy a prepared one in a jar. I just made my own to make it slightly healthier (less preservatives). It's common misconception that eggplant parmigiana is a healthy dish. To an extent, it could be. The eggplant, herbs and tomato sauce do make it a wholesome dish but the bread crumbs, cheese and all that olive oil takes it to the level of comfort food. This dish is also quite laborious to prepare. I only made it since my mister is going to his first photographic assignment and will be away for four days to join and document a medical mission in Mindoro province. He'll be away from my cooking and will be resigned to camping food. And so, I wanted to treat him to a nice meal the night before. I hope you enjoy my version of eggplant parmigiana that I gave a rollatini-style twist to! Ragu Sauce

It may have been a labor intensive dish but simply worth it and delicious!
