Kim Milan's Pasta alla Norma

Authentic Sicilian eggplant pasta with salt-cured, pan-fried eggplant, tomato sauce, and ricotta salata cheese

Ingredients needed 1 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Eggplant absorbs and then releases oil like a sponge and shrinks in size, so cutting it into large chunks makes it easier to pan-fry.
  • To achieve the authentic flavor of Pasta alla Norma, using strongly flavored, salty salted ricotta (ricotta salata) cheese is key.
  • If using regular ricotta cheese, salt it, drain the moisture, and grate it to mimic the texture of aged cheese.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to fully enjoy the flavor of authentic Sicilian tomato pasta.
  • Those who want to cook healthy eggplant with a crispy outside and moist inside texture.
  • Those who want to try making restaurant-quality pasta at home.
