The BEST CLASSIC Eggplant Parmigiana EVER/Food is Memories, Food is Nostalgia 🍝 

So much nostalgia all through this video!! 🥹

Nana’s Secret Tomato Sauce Recipe: Ingredients: 1 small onion (or half of a large onion) minced Olive oil (about a 1/4 cup) Fresh Basil leaves (to taste-a lot in my book!) 2-3 large cans of whole peeled tomatoes (3 cans if you like a lot of sauce on your side of spaghetti Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Purée tomatoes in food processor or blender Heat oil in sauce pot over low heat. Add onions Add a couple of basil leaves Sauté until translucent Add tomatoes Stir Add salt and pepper and torn plus whole basil leaves to taste Turn heat up so sauce simmers Cook for about 30 minutes Family Famous Eggplant Parmigiana: Ingredients: 3 medium eggplants 1 pound block mozzarella Approx 3/4 of the tomato sauce 4-6 eggs whisked 1 container Progresso Italian bread crumbs Grated Parmesan or pecorino Romano to taste Olive oil to shallow fry batches Instructions: Slice eggplant about 1/4 inch thick Lay out on paper towels, top with sea salt for about 20 minutes Large grate block mozzarella Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl Pat off water on eggplant slices Heat oil to medium Dunk eggplant discs first in egg, then coat in bread crumbs. Fry until golden brown (about 2-3 min per side) Heat oven to 375 degrees Place fried discs on paper towels Start layering in 9x13 inch glass dish: A little sauce on bottom so not to stick Then overlap slightly eggplant discs A little sauce over top, sprinkled mozzarella, Parmesan and a few torn basil leaves Repeat until at top of dish. Top with the rest of mozzarella to cover Bake until bubbly. Boil spaghetti until tender, top with tomato sauce and serve alongside eggplant and crusty slice of bread and perhaps a salad. Work is so worth it, you’ll see! And beware, this is to die for!
