Eggplant Spaghetti!

Hey everyone. I know, I know, have taken too long of a hiatus from this blog! For now, to tide you over, this is my take on a low-carb spaghetti dish, behold.... Eggplant Spaghetti!

Ingredients
1 Eggplant - Peeled and cut THIN (1/2-1/4inch) lengthewise then cut into long strips of "spaghetti"
4-5 cloves garlic
1/4-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Fresh basil - rough chopped
1/2 Jar marinara sauce
1/2 cup parmigiana sauce
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese - large dice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt and pepper as desired

Directions
1. On medium high heat, sautee olive oil and garlic until you can smell the garlic aromas
2. Add in eggplant "spaghetti" and cook until transparent, stirring often
3. Add 1/4 cup parmigiana cheese, mozzarella and fresh basil and cook 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to desired amount (must be done after addition of parmigiana cheese, it's salty in itself!)
4. Melt in butter and stir until mixed through.
5. Add Marinara sauce and cook another 2 minutes in pan. Transfer to bowl, sprinkle with rest of parmigiana cheese and garnish with a few leaves of fresh basil and ENJOY!
