I had a very large eggplant so it was perfect with this recipe. I omitted the salt and pepper. I used 400 g of ricotta. I used green onion instead of chives. I used homemade spaghetti sauce. It's even better than a lasagna with pasta. Thanks ratherbeswimmin :) Made for New Kids on the Block tag game
