How To Make jacklyn's parmigiana di melanzani

    Dip eggplant slices in egg and then breadcrumbs. Saute each side in olive oil/butter. Lay on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Boil pasta to aldente if using pasta. Put about a half cup of sauce in bottom of baking dish and cover with eggplant slices. Sprinkle with different cheeses and then a small thin layer of tiny pasta. Repeat cheeses and then repeat layers, starting with eggplant slices. Finish with sauce and cheeses. The original Eggplant Parm did not include pasta. That is one of my variations that we love.....
