Chef Jeff, I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian for a couple of years in the 90s. I used to blender up tofu and add that to the ricotta in a 1:1 ratio. It added protein to the filling without altering the taste or texture. I used it for lasagna and stuffed shells.
Looks delicious chef!!❤❤
I have had this in a long time I will be making this eggplant dish it looks delicious 😋 Have a blessed day on purpose 🙏🏼

Hello Chef Jeffery!!

Good morning Chef!! Thank you for your video. I have never had egg plant & always wanted to know what it tasted like & how to cook it. I love all vegetables & I will try your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I love vegetarian dishes. Oh how delicious it looks and definitely worth a try. This gave me an idea. Use the slices of eggplant as you cooked them like lasagna noodles. You were so excited doing this video. I will buy an eggplant on my next visit to the store. Enjoy your trip to Italy chef
Chef those look amazing!! Could you tell me where you got those white plates you're using with the high sides?
