One-Pot Italian Eggplant Noodle Parmesan

One-Pot Italian Eggplant Noodle Parmesan – is a fresh summer meatless dish inspired by the Italian eggplant Parmesan recipe. If you are on the hunt for a new delicious weeknight recipe, look no further than this one! I absolutely love quick and easy recipes, so this Italian-style one-pot dish is absolutely perfect. Easy, healthy, and so delicious. Moreover, this dish is a healthy low-carb alternative to pasta. And it’s just as satisfying. The eggplant and tomatoes go remarkably well together: they bring out the best in each other. A little bit of oregano, fresh basil, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese make this dish one that will tempt all your taste buds. A delicious summer dish with an Italian flare!

When cooking eggplant, keep in mind that it not only holds onto moisture but also absorbs oil like a sponge. In this recipe, to prevent it from absorbing so much oil, I sprinkle some salt over the sliced eggplant and leave it to sweat for 20-30 minutes. Then rinse, drain, and pat dry well before cooking. Enjoy!
