Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano are great choices for Eggplant Parmigiana. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. You could try Il Molino di Grace Chianti Classico Riserva. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 40 dollars per bottle.

Il Molino di Grace Chianti Classico Riserva

Very complex and spicy bouquet recalling red fruit, cherry jam, white pepper; abundant earthiness confirmed on the full, rich, silky and persistent palate.

Instructions

Put the eggplant on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Place under the broiler until soft. Remove and allow to cool. Meanwhile, heat the sauce in a small saucepan. Heat the remaining oil and cook the onion for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the onion and garlic to the sauce. Arrange the eggplant across the bottom of a 8 x 6 baking dish and then scatter cheese on top. Repeat layers until you run out of eggplant. Finish off with sauce, basil and remaining cheese. Bake for 40 minutes and 375. Optional: If you prefer you can fry the eggplant in a bit of olive oil. Then, soak up oil on a paper towel.
