As of last add tomato sauce and heavy cream and fully combine.

Step 6

Cover with the lid and cook for approximately 40 minutes at a medium temperature.

Preheat your oven to 200C or 400F.

Step 8

Cut Eggplant in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. With a Tablespoon, hollow the middle of the eggplant flesh as you see in the video. Depending on how restricted you are with carbohydrates, you use leftover chopped eggplant flesh in the bolognese sauce. Cut into small cubes and add into the sauce before filling the vegetable.

Step 9

Place all of the eggplant shells into the baking dish or a Casserole, which you are going to use. Fill each of the eggplants with Bolognese sauce up to the top.
