Aubergine Parmigiana is one of the most famous Italian recipes all around the world. The traditional recipe is made with deep fried slices of aubergine, mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil. All placed in a tin with the same layers of a lasagna. It is definitely delicious, but for sure it is quite heavy and it takes a long time to prepared.

Here is a lighter and quicker version of the original recipe. For healthy and practical reasons I am not going to fry the aubergines and I’ll give an original touch by adding Sundried Tomatoes and Parmesan.

This is a fantastic way of eating the vegetable and it could also become one of the favourite dishes of your kids!
