Add in the roughly chopped red pepper.Meanwhile, brush the eggplant with EVOO, season with salt and pepper and grill on hot grill to char. You don't need to cook all the way since it cooks in the oven. In an 8x8 pan, put some of the sauce on the bottom, layer with eggplant, cover with mozzarella slices and ribboned basil, top with more sauce and parmesan and repeat. It should make about 2 layers.
