PASTA ALLA SICILIANA - #1 Summer Eggplant Recipe
Pasta alla Siciliana is a delicious eggplant pasta recipe with very few ingredients. I make all of my recipes in the way they are often found here in the New York metro area. Most places will use mozzarella or a dollop of ricotta for this recipe instead of Ricotta Salata that's traditionally found on the similar alla Norma recipe. They are both great recipes, but this one, because it uses mozzarella, will be far easier for most of you to make. Hope you enjoy Pasta alla Siciliana!

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.

Homemade Pasta with Eggplant Bolognese. No Machine. Made By Hand.
You don't NEED a pasta making machine to make fresh pasta at home. Sure it would be more convenient but we won't let that stop us from enjoying fresh pasta.
Truth is, making fresh pasta from scratch is easier than you think and while it may be a bit daunting the first time you do it, it gets easier with every batch!
There's no comparison between fresh pasta and the ones you buy in the supermarket. The taste and mouth feel of fresh pasta is a far more satisfying experience and the best thing about it is that it doesn't require any special ingredients or tools to make this at home.

SPAGHETTI WITH EGGPLANT AND TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE || Vegan Aubergine Pasta Recipe || HIDDEN VEGGIES!
SPAGHETTI WITH EGGPLANT AND TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE || Vegan Aubergine Pasta Recipe || HIDDEN VEGGIES!
In this video, we show you how to make delicious Spaghetti with eggplant (also known as aubergine or brinjal) and tomato sauce. This is the perfect recipe for vegans, vegetarians, and also those who want to consume more veggies into their diet. It is particularly great for children (and some adults) who will not even realize they're eating eggplant and is secretly hidden in the pasta sauce! The eggplant and tomato sauce is rich, thick and packed full of flavour. It can be used as a base for any type of pasta, but today we chose to serve it with silky spaghetti.
To make the eggplant pasta sauce recipe, you will need:
2 small or 1 large eggplant (aubergine)
3 tbs olive oil
4 large garlic cloves
1/2 medium-sized onion
1 green pepper (you can use capsicum bell pepper or another green pepper that you have available)
2 large tomatoes
1 tbs tomato puree
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp garlic granules
1-2 cups hot water
pasta water (water from boiling the spaghetti or pasta)
finely chopped parsley
cooked spaghetti (or any other type of pasta)
optional: garnish with parsley and grated cheese of your choice (including vegan cheese)
The aubergine and tomato sauce is incredibly rich and flavourful. It can be used as a base for lasagne, pasta bakes or even used as a dip. You can even add mince meat to this pasta sauce and no one will ever know that it contains the added goodness from eggplants!
This eggplant pasta is inspired by the Sicillan pasta alla norma which is a famous Italian pasta dish. It is a fabulous easy dinner dish that will surely be loved by all the family.
