A snippet from our blog..."Before we dressed the salad, we set up the assembly line for the fried eggplant, and set the water to boil for the pasta. PAB also began to heat up homemade pasta sauce in a pan. Before we breaded the eggplant, we sat down & ate the salad.

Quickly rinsing off the plates and silverware, we were ready to go for the main course: we floured the eggplant, coated in egg yolk, and covered in breadcrumbs before frying in a cast-iron skillet over medium-heat. Meanwhile, we cooked the pasta al dente and served with the now hot pasta sauce." - www.bottomlesskitchen.com
