Traditional Eggplant Pasta Recipe from Sicily | Pasta alla Norma
===========
This traditional Sicilian pasta recipe has an amazing flavor! With fried eggplant, fresh tomato sauce and topped with hard salted ricotta cheese, you've never tasted anything like it. Forget Jamie Oliver! This recipe was filmed in Italy and Italians love it on our channel in Italian: @piatto
TIP: Avoid the dark oblong eggplants often sold in supermarkets abroad. They tend to be more bitter. Instead, reach for round purple eggplants (sometimes even called 'Italian eggplants' abroad). Or, use Japanese eggplants which usually deliver a sweet flavor/
TIP: Don't want to make your own tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes? Instead use 1 cup of tomato puree and simmer that with the garlic, olive oil and fresh basil.
TIP: Salted ricotta is VERY salty! Use it sparingly and to taste. Salt the tomato sauce less than usual if you plan to add some salted ricotta to the sauce itself.
