Eggplant Parmigiana is a classic Italian-American dish. As a young girl growing up in Boston, I can remember the Sunday dinners where my Auntie Ann's mother, Rose, brought the Eggplant Parmigiana. The family always looked forward to her signature dish! This One-Pan Eggplant Parm is a take off from her classic recipe -- but designed for the busy modern family.
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 3 cups red sauce
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
- Bag of mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and finely ground black pepper
- Fresh basil
Directions:
- Grease a cookie sheet
- Preheat oven to 375
- Cut basil into small pieces
- Slice eggplant into ¼-inch slices
- Place eggplant slices in a bowl, season with salt, pepper, and Romano cheese
- Using a fork, place eggplant on the cookie sheet
- Bake eggplant for 20 minutes
- Spread red sauce on eggplant (I use a spoon and typically add about 4 tsp and then spread evenly)
- Sprinkle mozzarella as desired (I use a spoon and usually add 3-4 Tbsp.)
- Put the eggplant, cheese, and sauce back in the oven for 15 minutes
- Take out of the oven and plate the eggplant
- Garnish with fresh basil
Mangia! Enjoy this one-pan recipe. We hope you wow your family and have a little less clean up!
