Ingredients

cooking spray
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/4 lbs unpeeled eggplant (cut into 1-inch pieces)
kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 garlic cloves (crushed)
2 tbsp chopped basil (plus leaves for garnish)
1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 large egg (beaten)
2 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese (freshly grated, plus more for serving)
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 25.25 ounce jar DeLallo Pomodoro sauce
part skim ricotta cheese (for serving (optional))

Steps:

Heat the oven to 375°F. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. When hot add the eggplant and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring occasionally until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times.
Transfer to a bowl and add bread crumbs, beaten egg, Romano cheese, parsley, garlic and chopped basil into the eggplant. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper.
Form the eggplant mixture into 24 balls about 1 1/8 oz each, rolling tightly and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until firm and browned, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Heat the sauce in a large deep skillet to warm the sauce. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Garnish the meatballs with basil leaves and serve with ricotta cheese if desired.
