  4. When eggplant is done roasting, pat down for any excess moisture.
  5. Pour half of marinara sauce in a 9×13 baking dish.
  6. Layer in the order of eggplant, spinach/ricotta mixture, zucchini, spinach/ricotta mixture, eggplant, and top with remaining marinara and sprinkle remaining cheese blend.
