Eggplant roll-ups

Ingredients
2 large eggplants - peeled and sliced lengthwise (thinness or thickness as preferred)
2-3 Tbs water
2 Medium red bell peppers, chopped
1 cup carrots, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Pasta sauce (as needed)
Mozzarella cheese (as much as desired)

Instructions:
Step 1: Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees
Step 2: Grease a cookie sheet and place the eggplant in a single layer on it (you typically need two cookie sheets for the two eggplants) Bake for 20 minutes (this varies depending on you eggplant slice thickness), you will know they are done when they are flexible enough to roll up.
Step 3: While your eggplant is baking, saute the pepper, onion, carrot, celery and garlic.
Step 4: Transfer veggies to a mixing bowl and add in pasta sauce (just enough to coat the veggies, not drown them) and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese.
Step 5: Once your eggplants are done baking: Spread about 1/4 of a cup of pasta sauce in a baking pan
Step 6: Put a little of the veggie mixture on each eggplant slice and roll them up, placing them in the pan.
Step 7: Pour the rest of the veggie sauce in the pan over the eggplant rolls and sprinkle as much (or as little) cheese as you would like over the top.
Step 8: Bake for about 25 minutes
Step 9: Enjoy!
