Eggplant and Ground Beef Lasagna

Ingredients:

1 eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
9 lasagna noodles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add onion and garlic, and cook until onion is tender. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Stir in ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water.
