MELANZANE PARMIGIANA

A traditional recipe of melanzane parmigiana is a dish layered with aubergines, tomato sauce, white sauce made with eggs and tons and tons of parmesan cheese. When living in London it was my favorite order as a starter at Pizza Express (I think the best Italian franchise in London), I would dip into the melanzane parmigiana with thick cuts of garlic dough balls. Just yum, especially in the winter!!!! 

This is a healthier version adapted slightly from @jshealth made with just a tub of fat free cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Its layered with aubergines, spinach, cottage cheese and arrabiata sauce. It is a perfect side dish with any protein at night. Tasty, hearty, easy to make and fat free.
