“I practice rhythmic gymnastics, and my coaches always talk about the importance of good nutrition. They advise us to eat a balanced diet, including veggies,” says Aliana. “My mom loves eggplants. I do not like eggplants that much; they have millions of seeds! However, I do love pasta, so we came up with this recipe: eggplant lasagna rolls. We combined the eggplant with other veggies. We spread the eggplant filling over the lasagna pasta and rolled them up. As a pasta lover, I had to cover the rolls with a bit of tomato sauce and cheese. Yummy! For dessert, we chose fresh clementine oranges.”
