TIS, yeah I lightly bread and fry it -- it's basically "eggplant parm lasagna"
My dad (his parents were off the boat) doesn't particularly like eggplant or anything "fancy" like that (
) -- he didn't even realize he'd like ziti until a few years ago, like different shaped pastas taste any different from each other
Anyway, we all love my mom's lasagna but one night I made mine and didn't tell my dad I made it, let alone there was eggplant in it. Halfway thru dinner my dad told my mom it was the best lasagna
she ever made!!
Luckily my mom wasn't offended as we got a good chuckle out of it
