    Ingredients:
    For Sauce:
    1 25 oz. Passata di Pomodoro or 28 oz. San Marzano/Peeled tomatoes
    2 cloves garlic
    4 tbsp. extra virgin olive
    For Eggplant Prep:
    2 large eggplants
    4 eggs
    1 cup flour
    1 cup bread crumbs
    1 pound mozzarella sliced
    1/2 cup Pecorino Romano grated
    Fresh basil
    Salt
    Pepper
    Parmigiano Reggiano
    2 cups peanut or sunflower oil for frying
    Directions:
    Preparing Sauce:
    Step#1- Add oil and garlic to pan and sauté until garlic is golden.
    Step#2- Remove garlic and add tomato passata a little at a time and let it fry gently.
    Step#3- Add remaining, add water to jar to rinse. Add to pan. Bring to a boil and lower heat. Add salt and a few leaves of fresh basil. Let it cook for 45 minutes.
    Preparing Eggplant:
    Step#1- Beat eggs, add salt, pepper and pecorino romano.
    Step#2- Peel and slice eggplants in rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
    Step#3- Take 2 slices and add a slice of mozzarella. First coat with flour, then dip in egg wash and finally into the breadcrumbs. Make sure that the breadcrumbs sticks all around the eggplant. This avoid the cheese running out when frying.
    Step#4- Fry in oil at 350°F until golden on both sides. Place on paper towel to absorb any oil.
    Bringing it all together:
    Step#1- Plate and pour steaming hot sauce on top.
    Step#2- Grate parmigiana Reggiano and far sun with fresh basil.
    The Eggplant in Carrozza is wonderful just fried too.
    Buon appetito!

    I just love watching you cook! You could fry a sponge in olive oil and I would try it! Your videos make even a complicated recipe look so easily manageable in steps. I had never heard of this recipe and since I love all things eggplant I will definitely try this! I love recipes that I can do ahead so if I have company I can enjoy my guests and get my kitchen cleaned up before they come over. I think this could be made ahead and warmed up before serving. Love this and I love you!! Thank you for keeping me rooted in my heritage now that most of my relatives have passed. Bless you and I hope to slowly watch all your videos!

      @@alessandrasfoodislove Hi I am new to your channel found it yesterday and love it! And yes the younger generation with the Uber Eats - this comment made me laugh & cry.
      I still do Sunday dinner with my parents when I can. And am keeping Lenten Fridays this is a perfect recipe for this. Thank you. God Bless!
      And Mutti is my favorite tomato too I love their cherry tomatoes!!! Those especially remind me of Italy. When I lived there my “mom” just put oil garlic and a small can of Ciliegini in a tiny pan and in a matter of minutes the most delicious sauce I’ve ever tasted. When I used the Mutti decades later I was absolutely transported back in time!
      Their plum tomatoes really bring me back to my childhood too. Like that scene from Ratatouille with the food critic. 🥰

    Ciao Bella! This looks delicious I’m going to try this never thought of doing this with eggplant very ingenious. .. parmigiana a step up .. I enjoy your recipes .. true your home sauce is always best don’t know what it is with restaurant sauce it’s awful I’ve never tasted a restaurant sauce that was good .. that’s why I’m fussy when I go out to an Italian restaurant .. I never order anything with sauce .. my family says I’m terrible but I can help it I like my,own cooking.. I’m sure you can relate to this since you’re a good cook .. we cooks know the difference trouble is most people don’t know good food but everyone has different taste I guess.. 7:29
