- Preheat oven to 350º

- In a sauté pan or skillet, lightly brown sliced onions in olive oil
- When browned, remove to a plate to cool slightly and in the same pan, add tomato sauce, garlic, water, parsley, basil and about 1-2 tbl oil
- Simmer for about 5-10 minutes to cook garlic
- In a small casserole, add about 2 tbl olive oil and about 1/2 cup sauce
- Cover with a single layer of eggplant slices, cutting smaller pieces to fit spaces
- Add a little browned onion and top with a bit of sauce
- Repeat using all the eggplant, onion and sauce, finishing with sauce on the top
- Top with a layer of provolone that covers the surface
- Bake approximately 35-40 minutes until sauce is bubbly and cheese is lightly browned
- Cool slightly before serving
*I peel my eggplants lengthwise leaving 1/2 to 1 inch strips around. They can be fully peeled or not peeled at all.
