To start, preheat your oven to 200°C. Place the sliced eggplant on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the eggplant is tender and slightly browned.

While the eggplant is roasting, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the marinara sauce and goat cheese, stirring until the goat cheese has melted into the sauce.

Once the eggplant is done, remove it from the oven and begin assembling the dish. In a baking dish, layer the roasted eggplant slices with the goat cheese marinara sauce, fresh basil leaves, crushed pistachios, and grated parmesan cheese.

Place the dish back in the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
