Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. Spray 9-inch pie plate or 8-inch round pan lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
- Cut eggplant into very thin slices using mandolin. Place slices in single layer on cookie sheets; sprinkle lightly with salt. (If necessary, do this in batches if only 1 sheet fits in your oven at a time.) Bake about 6 minutes or until slightly shriveled and almost tender. Remove from oven; set aside to cool. Leave oven on.
- In medium bowl, mix ricotta and Parmesan cheeses. Place thawed spinach in clean tea towel; squeeze out any excess liquid. (There will be a lot!) Add drained spinach to cheese mixture; mix well.
- Spread thin layer of marinara sauce in bottom of pie plate. Layer eggplant slices, slightly overlapping, over sauce to cover bottom of plate. Spread one-third of cheese mixture over eggplant; top with a layer of sauce. Repeat layers 2 more times, layering eggplant, cheese mixture and sauce and ending with final layer of sauce. Top with mozzarella pearls. Cover pie plate with foil.
- Bake in center of oven 30 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking 15 to 30 minutes longer or until cheese and sauce are bubbly and eggplant is tender. Remove from oven; cool about 10 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle top of the lasagna with basil before serving.
