Eggplant Parmesan
A very famous traditional Neapolitan recipe that we all love! As it often happens, everyone modifies it according to their own taste! I decided to offer you my version as well, but I already know that I will be criticized 😂 because I add bacon to the sauce, which is not in the traditional recipe. However, I like it that way! If you want a lighter version, instead of frying the eggplants you can simply grill them!
