To grill the eggplant, preheat grill. Diagonally slice into ½-inch slices. Toss with olive oil and kosher salt. Place on grill and cook 5 to 7 minutes on each side.

- 2 cloves garlic, chopped

- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 15 ounces whole-milk ricotta
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
