Veal Parmigiana is a classic Italian-American dish that features breaded veal cutlets topped with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and sometimes Parmesan cheese. The veal is first coated in breadcrumbs and pan-fried until golden, then baked with the sauce and cheese to achieve a rich, savory flavor. Traditionally served with pasta or a side of vegetables, it offers a hearty meal experience. This dish is protein-rich due to the veal, but also high in saturated fat and sodium from the cheese and frying process. Opting for a baked version or lighter preparations can help reduce calorie and fat content. Pairing it with a salad can balance out its heavier aspects and add nutritional value. Veal Parmigiana represents a harmony of Italian culinary tradition and American adaptations, making it both indulgent and iconic.
