Fry off a stick of celery, a carrot and an onion all finely chopped with a clove or three of garlic. When soft add passata and some dried oregano and cook off for a few minutes.

Oops, submitted too soon....the rest is to follow.....
Even I could follow this!

This looks basically the same (and has lots of great reviews):

Slice an aubergine thinly (5mm), brush with oil and cook on a hot griddle pan, turning when coloured.

Layer tomato sauce, aubergine, sliced mozzarella and shredded basil....repeat...finish with tom sauce, mozzarella and a handful of Parmesan.

Extra touches can be added, slices of skinned peppers, courgette cooked as per aubergine and a handful of breadcrumbs with the Parmesan adds crunch.
>>>Extra touches can be added . . .

I'd probably add sliced mushrooms

Oh flippin' heck......and bake in the oven until brown and bubbling! 180c about 30-40mins.
This is how I learned to make it...
Slice aubergine not too thin...,maybe .5 inch thick. Dip into flour,then beaten egg...fry in olive oil until golden.You can also just fry in the oil.
Make a tomato sauce by gently sauteeing some crushed garlic and diced onion until soft. Add to this some basil and oregano,and a carton of passata. Let simmer gently for 30 minutes.
Spread some sauce in the bottom of a oiled tin. Lay a layer of aubergine,sliced mozzarella,and grated parmesan, topped with tomato sauce. Continue until all is used up. Bake in the oven for about 35-45 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing.
I do mine the same as Pasta but I add a tin of peeled tomatoes to the passata when making the sauce xx
Ooh sorry, I just dip the aubergine in flour...no egg. X
Sometimes I used tinned chopped toms...depends on my mood, ;-))
I learned from my mum...so there may be regional variations...
Probably. Nonna taught me years ago how to make it. I love it, great comfort food especially with loads of ooozy mozzarella! Yum! X
I use the recipe from Jamie's Italian book - delicious every time
I like it better than lasagne. :-))
Me too, and not such a faff to make! Lol xx
My version is based around Valentina Harris's recipe, she's not bad in the kitchen.

Hopefully from all the suggestions Smurf can find something that suits her.
