For the Eggplant

Method

Prepare the Eggplant

  1. 1

    Slice and Salt the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Eggplant

    Rinse the eggplant slices under cold water to remove the salt. Pat them dry. Dip each slice first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Eggplant

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Make the Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Assemble and Cook

  1. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    In a baking dish, layer the fried eggplant, sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with cheese on top.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  3. 9

    Cook Spaghetti

    Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Serve the eggplant parmesan over spaghetti and garnish with fresh basil.
