Mr. Nonno’s Parmigiana di Melanzane

🌾 Gluten-Free Recipe – May Contain Gluten Traces | 🌱 Vegetarian Dish

Ingredients – A Southern Italian Classic (Yes, It’s Fried! 🍆🔥)

Parmigiana di Melanzane is Italy’s answer to comfort food—a deliciously layered dish made with fried eggplant, rich tomato sauce, fresh basil, melted mozzarella, and plenty of Parmesan cheese, all baked to golden perfection. Think of it as lasagna’s veggie-loving cousin—just without the pasta!

• 🍆 Eggplant – golden and crispy, just how they like it in the south.
• 🌿 Flour-free! Because who needs gluten when you have this much flavor?
• 🛢️ Sunflower oil (for frying) – because in the south, they say: “If it ain’t fried, it ain’t right.”
• 🍅 Peeled tomatoes & 🧅 onion – slow-cooked for the perfect sauce.
• 🌿 Fresh basil – because no Parmigiana is complete without it.
• 🧀 Mozzarella & Parmesan – double the cheese, double the happiness.
