  2. Meanwhile, mix the ricotta with the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper to obtain a homogeneous preparation.
  3. In a dish, assemble the mille-feuille by alternating a slice of eggplant, a layer of ricotta, repeat for 3–4 layers; finish with a slice of eggplant and sprinkle with parmesan.
  4. Bake for 8–10 minutes to heat everything and lightly brown the parmesan; let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  5. Cut into portions and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a few fresh basil leaves.
