Grab the eggplant slices and put the ricotta filling in each, then roll them up and place in a baking tray. Continue until you have used all the ricotta filling. 6. If you have any remaining eggplant, chop and add to your sauce. 7. Allow the sauce to simmer for 30 mins and then pour over the eggplant involtini 8. Shave your Parmigiano cheese over the top and place in the oven at 180C for another 20-30 mins until the eggplant is soft and cooked through 9. Serve 2-3 rolls with a fresh green salad on the side.
