Parmigiana A La Melanzane, or Eggplant Parmigiana, is a classic Italian dish that layers thinly sliced, breaded, and baked eggplant with rich tomato sauce, melty mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Originating from Southern Italy, particularly Naples and Sicily, this comfort food is beloved for its hearty yet simple flavors. The dish is often baked until golden and bubbling, creating a satisfying balance of textures and tastes. From a nutritional standpoint, eggplant is low in calories and provides fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. The tomato sauce adds heart-healthy lycopene, while the cheeses contribute calcium and protein. However, this dish can be high in saturated fat and sodium due to the cheese and sometimes excess oil if fried. Opting for baked rather than fried eggplant, moderate cheese portions, and low-sodium sauces can make it a more health-conscious indulgence without compromising its signature taste.
