EGGPLANT ITALIANO 
1 med. eggplant, pared & sliced 1/8" thick
2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
1-2 tsp. oregano
1/2 c. shredded sharp cheese

Spread 2 tablespoons tomato sauce in bottom of 2 quart microwave safe casserole. Layer half of eggplant, 1 can tomato sauce, 1/2 of oregano and 1/2 of sharp cheese. Repeat layers. Cover.

Microwave on high 14-16 minutes, rotating 1/4 turn after 8 minutes. If you prefer your vegetables (ie eggplant) not crisp-tender, microwave longer.

1 package (6 ounce) sliced mozzarella cheese can be added to top and microwave on high 1-2 minutes, until cheese has melted. Makes 4-6 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
