How To make Frank's Eggplant Siciliano
2 tb Extra virgin olive oil
1 qt Marinara sauce
1 lg Eggplant, peeled & sliced
1 lb Italian sausage, pan sauteed
1 lb Mozzarella cheese
2 c Grated Romano cheese
1 ts Garlic powder
4 ts Basil leaves
2 ts Oregano
Black pepper to taste First, take a 10 x 14 glass baking pan and coat the sides and bottom with the olive oil. Then pour a cup of the marinara sauce into the pan and spread it out evenly. Next, place a layer of the sliced eggplant in the pan (making sure to work it into the sauce). Then spread on another half-cup or so of sauce to cover the eggplant. Now SPRINKLE on some Italian sausage ... then some mozzarella...then some Romano...then some garlic powder...then some basil...then some oregano. Just try to get the SPRINKLINGS as evenly distributed as possible. At this point, ladle on another cup of the sauce, spread it around, and cover it with another layer of eggplant. Now repeat the entire process over and over again until all the ingredients are used, and top off the dish with a heavy layer of mozzarella. Now, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, season to taste with the black pepper, and cover the dish TIGHTLY with heavy-duty aluminum foil. All that's left is to bake it in the upper third of your oven for about an hour (or until the eggplant is soft and tender), then cool for about 20 minutes before serving.

Classic Eggplant Parm with Franco Contaldo
Parmigiana di Melanzane
Franco’s Eggplant Parmigiana
“Ah, Eggplant Parm…it conjures up the ultimate comfort food for your humble Chef. By the
way, the name Parmigiana does not mean Parmesan cheese. The name derives from the
Sicilian Parmiciana, which in dialect mean stacked wooden slats or boards; essentially how the
slices of eggplant are placed in the pan. Any way you slice it, this flavorful, meatless dish is sure
to become a family fav” Franco Contaldo

Pasta with Eggplant and Ricotta - South of Italy taste!
One of my most loved vegetables is the eggplant, and today I chose to create yet another dish with eggplant at the center of it! This VEGETARIAN pasta sauce combines a lot of South of Italy in it: the sundried tomatoes, the ricotta cheese, the capers and, of course, the eggplant!
It is a super-quick pasta to pull off: as usual, we want to eat well without spending hours in the kitchen! Have a look at this vegetarian recipe and make sure to try it: if you like eggplants, then I can tell you this meal will make you fly to space without need of any SpaceX ticket!
