Ingredients

2	tablespoons	olive oil, extra-virgin
1	quart	marinara sauce
1	large	eggplant	peeled and sliced
1	pound	italian sausage	browned and crumbled
1	pound	mozzarella cheese
2	cups	romano cheese	grated
1	teaspoon	garlic powder
4	teaspoons	basil
2	teaspoons	oregano
1	x	black pepper	to taste

Directions

First, take a 10 x 14 glass baking pan and coat the sides and bottom with the olive oil.

Pour a cup of the marinara sauce into the pan and spread it out evenly.

Place a layer of the sliced eggplant in the pan, making sure to work it into the sauce.

Spread on another half-cup or so of sauce to cover the eggplant.

Now sprinkle on some of the Italian sausage meat, mozzarella, romano, garlic powder, oregano, and basil.

Ladle on another cup of the sauce, spread it around, and cover it with another layer of eggplant.

Now repeat the entire process over and over again until all the ingredients are used, and top off the dish with a heavy layer of mozzarella.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, season to taste with the black pepper, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Bake it in the upper third of your oven for about an hour, until the eggplant is soft and tender, then cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
