Eggplant Rollatini is one of our favorite vegetarian weeknight meals! It’s filled with fresh herbs and ricotta cheese rolled up in eggplant and cooked in bubbly tomato sauce. There’s even an option for dairy-free ricotta if you want a vegan dish!
One of our most common recipe requests is for easy, nutritious weeknight dinners that the whole family will love. Does that sound impossible? We promise it’s not! This Eggplant Rollatini with Pesto Ricotta is easy to make, has enough cheese that even little ones go back for seconds, and it’s filled with nutritious veggies that you can feel great about.
WHAT IS EGGPLANT ROLLATINI?
Rollatini is delicious Italian comfort food! In Italy, it’s called Involtini, but both names mean the same thing: long, thin slices of eggplant filled with ricotta cheese, pesto, and mushrooms. It’s all cooked in bubbly, savory tomato marinara sauce and topped with cheese!
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EGGPLANT PARMESAN AND EGGPLANT ROLLATINI?
In Eggplant Parmesan, slices of eggplant are breaded and fried and sometimes baked before they’re layered with marinara and mozzarella. Eggplant Rollatini has long slices of eggplant that get stuffed with cheesy filling before being rolled up!
HEALTH BENEFITS OF EGGPLANT
We love using eggplant in vegetarian dishes because it has a hearty, chewy texture that’s incredibly satisfying. Eggplant has lots of vitamins A and C and it’s high in fiber while being low in calories. This makes it good for digestive health! Find all of our eggplant recipes right here.
