directions
- Sprinkle the eggplant slices lightly with salt on both sides and let them drain in a colander for 30 minutes.

- Add 1/4 cup of the parsley and the scallion and process the mixture for 10 seconds.
- Transfer the eggplant slices to paper towels and pat them dry.
- Arrange one third of the eggplant slices in one layer on a jelly-roll pan, brushed with the oil, and brush the tops with the oil.
- Cook the eggplant slices under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat, turning them once and brushing them again with the oil, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are browned lightly on both sides.
- Transfer them to paper towels to drain and cook the remaining slices in the same manner.
- Put 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture at a short end of each slice and roll up the slices to enclose the filling.
- Spread 1/4 cup of the sauce in a 10-by-7-inch baking pan and arrange the eggplant rolls in one layer on the sauce.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the rolls and sprinkle it with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Bake the rollatini in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are heated through, and sprinkle them with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
