Parmigiana di Melanzane

What is it?

Layers of baked aubergine sit in tomato sauce with mozzarella, built as a vegetarian oven meal. COOK packages it as a frozen tray bake, so it goes from freezer to oven without any assembly. The texture usually runs soft and layered, with the cheese forming a browned top while the sauce carries most of the seasoning. Compared with other COOK frozen meals, it leans on vegetables and dairy rather than pasta, grains, or meat. Serve it on its own or with bread and a salad if you want something more substantial.
