Method

1. Slice the eggplant into thin rounds and grill them on a hot pan until tender on both sides.
2. Cook the anelletti pasta in boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions.
3. Prepare a quick sauce by simmering the tomato passata with oil and salt for 10 minutes.
4. In a bowl, mix the ricotta with a spoonful of tomato sauce to make it creamy.
5. Drain the pasta and toss it with the tomato sauce and half of the Grana Padano.
6. Line a small oven dish with half of the grilled eggplants, then add the pasta and dots of ricotta.
7. Cover with the remaining eggplants and cheese, then bake at 200°C for 15 minutes.

Tips

• Grilling the eggplants instead of frying them keeps the dish light while preserving its authentic Mediterranean flavor.
• This dish is perfect for meal prep as it stays firm and flavorful when reheated the next day.
