Eggplant is a great alternative to pasta in lasagna. It also goes great with any type of marinara sauce. Eggplant parmesan lasagna soaks up flavors and delivers them to your taste buds. It is a wise choice to replace the noodles in a lasagna with some eggplant due to the increase in nutrition and decrease in processed carbohydrates. (Learn more about The Truth About Carbs). The panko breadcrumbs in this recipe still tend to fall into that category so if you prefer, just cook eggplant as is without panko.
