How to Make PASTA ALLA NORMA like a Sicilian
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Pasta alla norma, has everything you want from a delicious Sicilian pasta dish. Crispy eggplant, salty ricotta cheese, luscious tomato sauce…and the ideal pasta shape to scoop it all up with. Fun fact: Pasta alla norma is named after Bellini's 19th-century opera, Norma..and I promise you’ll be singing your way back to the pan for more once you try this satisfying eggplant pasta treat.

======================================================
INGREDIENTS:
300g/8oz Casarecce Dry Pasta
Small bunch fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
Ricotta Salata (Up to 250g)
1 can peeled tomatoes or 1 x bottle passata
1-2 eggplants
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Salt + Pepper
5L water
METHOD:
Pasta alla norma needs quality tender eggplants, so start by trimming the top and bottom of one (or two) and then cut into strips.
In the meantime, heat up vegetable oil in a deep pan or small pot.
Once the oil reaches a temperature of 180°C/356°F (or you can see it is ready!) place a handful of your strips in at a time and fry them up!
Pasta alla norma is all about the crispy eggplant, so once the eggplant strips are golden brown, remove from the oil and put them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess liquid and leave to rest.
Add 5L water to a large pot and leave it to boil while you prepare your sauce.
This Sicilian Eggplant pasta is made with a fresh tomato sauce, so pour the peeled tomatoes into a medium mixing bowl and crush using a vegetable mashing utensil.
Once you have created a puree of tomatoes, add salt and pepper and mix with a wooden spoon.
Next place a medium size pan on your stove at low-medium heat and warm up a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Once the oil is slightly warm crush the garlic cloves, adding them to the pan and stir.
Pour the tomato mix into the pan and drop the temperature to a lower heat so it cooks slowly.
Now it’s time to cook your pasta, so add a tablespoon of rock salt to the water, stir to help dissolve and leave to cook as per packet instructions.
Add ¾ of the eggplant to your sauce and leave to simmer (at a low temperature) before breaking up a few fresh basil leaves and adding these too.
Once the pasta is ready, get a cup full of pasta water and put it to the side.
Using a hand sieve, strain the pasta and add it to the sauce before adding the cup of water and stirring through, leaving it to cook for one more minute.
Grate some ricotta salata in the pan and mix through until melted.
E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!

If you can get real Feta cheese, you should also be able to get ricotta. Maybe not the ricotta salata, but you can cure it for some time. Or you make your own ricotta (and cure it). Not so difficult, but requires some more prep (mostly waiting).

Vincenzo, I recently subscribed to your channel, and yesterday I made your first ever recipe. I sent a photo of my pasta alla norma to my Sicilian and Barese friends and they were shocked, they thought it was from an Italian restaurant. Thank you so much for your content! Just one thing, I had to fry the aubergines in different batches to avoid crowding and this on its own took at least 15 minutes. The whole recipe definitely took way more than 15 mins, more like 1 hour 😅 I don’t know if it’s because it’s the first time or what. NB: I hope I don’t infuriate you, but I didn’t have ricotta salata so what I did instead was I used ricotta cremosa for the sauce and grated Greek Manouri cheese for the garnishing. Yes…. Texture wise I thought it was somewhat close, also similar in level of salt (like half way between mozzarella and feta).
My favorite pasta dish! Unfortunately I had only two times pasta ala Norma this year because eggplants didn’t grew so good this yeah !

I love making this dish, but with a few variations: 1. If you want to use less oil, you can roast the eggplant in the oven with a little oil and salt. 2. I've seen recipes that call for a few chillies. I always do this when I make it for my parents, who are from India and like the heat. Not so many when I make it for my wife, who isn't Indian. 3. I once had a few mushrooms and zucchini lying in the fridge so I threw those in with the eggplant. I told my wife that Norma had brought along some friends. It was great, but I didn't call it pasta alla Norma.
