Come preparare

1
Heat the oven to 220°C. Arrange the eggplant planks on two baking sheets, brush both sides with 40 ml of the olive oil, and season with 6 g of the salt.
2
Roast the eggplant for 22 to 25 minutes, turning once, until browned at the edges and tender when pierced. Reduce the oven to 190°C.

3
Warm the remaining 20 ml olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 45 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
4
Add the crushed tomatoes, remaining 4 g salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Stir in the torn basil and remove from the heat.
5
Spread a thin layer of sauce in a 23 by 33 cm baking dish. Add one-third of the eggplant, one-third of the mozzarella, 30 g of the Parmesan, and a light scattering of breadcrumbs. Repeat the layers twice, finishing with sauce, the remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs.
6
Bake at 190°C for 30 to 35 minutes, until the sauce bubbles around the edges and the cheese is melted and golden. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.

Rest the dish for 15 minutes before cutting into six portions. Garnish with the reserved basil and serve warm.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Roasting concentrates the eggplant without the heaviness of deep-frying, while a slowly simmered tomato sauce balances the rich cheeses. Parmesan and breadcrumbs create a crisp, savory top over tender, layered vegetables.
