1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Spray an 18cm x 28cm rectangular baking dish with olive oil and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Place eggplant in a single layer on the prepared tray. Spray with olive oil and season with cracked black pepper. Bake for 10 minutes, or until just tender.
3. Spray a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over medium heat. Add lamb mince, garlic and oregano. Cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes, or until mince is almost browned. Add courgette and potato and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the courgette is softened.
4. Spread 1 cup of passata in the base of prepared baking dish. Spread over half of the mince mixture and top with half of the eggplant slices. Spread over remaining meat sauce and a final layer of eggplant. Finish with remaining tomato pasta sauce.
