Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice eggplant crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet; bake until tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, add beans, parsley, basil, oil, lemon juice, garlic and salt to a food processor; pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, about 1 minute. Spread 1/4 cup marinara in a medium ovenproof skillet. Arrange about 4 or 5 eggplant slices, slightly overlapping, in a single layer to cover the sauce. Spoon 1/2 cup marinara over the eggplant and top with 1/2 cup bean mixture and 1/4 cup ricotta, spreading the layers evenly over the eggplant. Repeat with another layer of eggplant, marinara, bean mixture and ricotta. Top with the remaining eggplant slices, marinara and mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cheese is slightly browned, 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, if desired.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
