Method

Eggplant Timbale Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplants into 1/4 inch rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggplant

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Timbale

    In a greased baking dish, layer the eggplant slices to form a base and sides. Fill with the cheese mixture and top with remaining eggplant slices. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes.

Tagliatelle Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Berretta Farm Ragu Sauce Preparation

    Make the Ragu
