Very quick Parmigiana potato: simple and inexpensive recipe, without meat

Preparation

  1. Prepare the sauce
    In a saucepan, heat a drizzle of oil and sauté the garlic over low heat. When golden brown, add the tomato puree, a pinch of salt and a few basil leaves. Cook for 5-10 minutes, then turn off the heat and set aside.

  2. After
    boiling them and letting them cool slightly, cut the potatoes into thick slices (about 1 cm), using a sharp knife.

  3. Assemble the parmigiana
    In a baking dish, pour a few tablespoons of the sauce over the bottom. Lay down a layer of potatoes, trying to cover the corners as well. Add a few cheese flakes, a pinch of grated cheese, a little salt and a few basil leaves.

  4. Continue in layers
    Proceed in layers: sauce, potatoes, cheeses, until 3-4 layers form. Finish with a generous final layer of cheese, a drizzle of oil and, if desired, a little more basil.

  5. Bake
    in a static oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or 25 minutes + 5 minutes on the grill for a crispier crust.
