Notes: To Make Eggplant Parmigiana:
Layer cooked eggplant in casserole dish. Pour gravy over eggplant. Cover with mozzerella, provolone and more Locatella Cheese. Top with a layer of torn basil leaves. Spoon gravy and repeat the layering 2 more times to make 3 layers. End with the remaining cheese. Carefully press the layers down firmly into the dish once assembled. Place the dish in the top part of the oven (350º) and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. For extra browning, put the dish under the broiler for a minute or two just before serving to get an extra brown cheesy top.
