Menacotto con Parmigiana di Melanzane, Peperoncino e Scamorza
This is the more hardcore version. It's called menacotto and has eggplant parmigiana, chili, and scamorza. The parmigiana also has eggs in it. Madonna, it's so good. This will make you enjoy and fly. I'll go back down to the valley flying without the car.
