As an Italian, this is why I think this man has the greatest cooking channel for Italian food. The reason? He has factual KNOWLEDGE of Italian cooking, he goes by the books or if he doesn't, he clarifies what is the traditional way in Italy. Differentiating between different Italian tomato sauces, understanding the differences, clarifying to people. I literally can't think of anyone else (outside of Italy) who does this. You are a cooking national treasure, for those wishing to re create and become masters in traditional and authentic Italian cooking.

My favorite for Italian food is pasta grammar. kzread.info These channels are also great for Italian cooking. kzread.info kzread.info kzread.info Thought all of them feature Italians that grew up in Italy and with the local food culture. And as a non italian this channels series on the Roman pastas was a great help when I learned to cook them myself.

Your style of cooking is great. Reminds me of hanging out with my grandparents on a Sunday.

Dude, i only watch your videos up until recently but you have quickly become my favorite cooking channel on youtube. I just love your cut the bullshit approach, keep up the good work, your way of doing cooking content really stands out.

I've been roasting eggplant for years. It's one of my fav veggies. I make what I call eggplant cassoulet. Basically roasted eggplant layered over spinach mushrooms fresh tomatoes and cheeses all baked. Any number of things can be added ie sausage and even served over pasta. Yummy.

Back to the Italian classic! Loving it.

This is one of my favorite pasta my mom in Italy makes 😁 My dad grows eggplants in our family field so it's quite common, along with 'melanzane alla parmigiana'. My mom stir fries them with soffritto, but make sure you drain them with salt and some weight first for few hours.

I always salt the aubergines, but really if baking in the oven it's not strictly necessary as they dry out anyway. But salting means they take less time to cook.

Just harvested a few eggplants from my garden and found this video. I’ll be trying out this recipe tonight!

Thanks for another awesome pasta recipe. Please never discontinue this channel! 🤙

Great recipe. Love how you keep it practical. I switched over to using Chinese eggplant as it is sweeter and it does make a big difference in taste! Especially when oven roasted or sauteed.

Yes! I think the size of the eggplant pieces is so important. Chef, you really conceptualize what eggplant Norma offers us as a dish. Roasting is such a better way to go. I also love how you add some of the eggplant at the end, so it contributes to presentation, and truly contrasts with the sauce. A simple dish, but a master class of what addition by subtraction means in Italian cuisine.

I need that pan! Looks great for reducing a sauce. Your channel is the best!

No doubt, one of my favourite channels on YT right now. Good work!

Tried it today. Turned out AMAZINGLY GOOD. One of my new favorite dishes, thanks a lot man :D

This channel really stepped up my pasta game, another one to my repertoire!!!

Love your videos by the way, it's clear how much you love what you do

I added eggplant to my garden this year, I will definitely be trying this dish!!!

Made this last weekend according to your recipe and it was a hit! Thank you! :)

I ate this in italy and always wanted to learn how to cook it. Thanks for the recipe

This is definitely one of my favorite pasta dishes! It's incredibly tasty 👌

Great idea for using eggplant without salting and draining it. On my bucket list. As for the sauce, I use organic tomato paste to thicken it before adding the canned plum tomatoes......just made my signature homemade sauce yesterday, and it's "thick and zesty", as they used to say in the ads. Props to your sponsor for this video, there are so many folks I know who could benefit from their service these days.

I've experienced and cooked this dish in many forms while either working in or eating at many restaurants. Some very successful, others mundane, some just plain bad. This version is among the absolute best. Excellent ingredients and attention to detail are the foundations of good cooking. This version exemplifies both.

Yes! I love eggplant and I cannot wait to make this dish! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for all your delicious recipes. They never disappoint. I have been a sugar addict and after eating your recipes, my sweet tooth has majorly reduced. Thank you so much!

This pasta recipe has been our absolute favourite since I found it on your channel. It is so tasty that I dpn't want to make pasta any other way anymore! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe

This is my favourite pasta but I’ve never been able to make it to the same level. So excited to try this man

Great idea roasting the eggplant for this dish! That is really going to give it a nice depth of flavor. I can’t wait to give this one a try!

Great simplicity! Thanks.

Hey, this recipe is from my hometown, Catania, in Sicily. I just wanted to note a few things: - the aubergine is traditionally fried. I guess putting it in the oven with that much oil achieves a similar result. A tip to help with the flavor: cover the aubergines in coarse salt, put them in a draining bowl and put a weight on them for 20 to 30 minutes to expel their internal water which causes the bitter taste. Then rinse the aubergines, pat them dry with a clean cloth and salt them for cooking. Be sure to dry them well because hot oil reacts to the water. - not everyone uses garlic in the sauce for this recipe, but if you do I would recommend putting the clove whole or cut in half and removing it at the end, so that the garlic flavour is not too overpowering. - I would personally avoid adding butter, it's really not something that fits in terms of flavour. If the tomato sauce is sour try adding a tiny bit of sugar (like a third of a teaspoon for 2 portions). :)

I am also Italian. I never try to use the oven and I usually fry aubergines too. Maybe, using the oven makes it simpler to control the cooking, I do not know, but I think you made a very important point about salting and putting the weight on. I was about to write about it, but you came first.

Wow! The best pasta alla Norma recipe!

I made something close to this accidentally after realizing how delicious eggplant was last summer. Growing up on Long Island eggplant was usually presented as a soggy and gross alternative to chicken parm, but after learning more they’ve become my favorite vegetable. Giving this a shot for sure!

There was a pizza joint in my hometown of Jacksonville FL that had fried eggplant planks as a pizza topping. Freaking delicious. I really miss that place. Glad you came to have this yummy veg served in a way you love!

I do this with eggplant and mushroom. Toss them in olive oil in a large bowl with seasoning and roast them in the oven while the sauce simmers. So simple, so amazing.

This looks like something I can actually cook! Can’t wait to try it. 🙏

Awesome dish. I’m definitely going to try this one. Great tips. Thanks Also, great sponsor, especially with these trying times.

One trick I learned a while ago when roasting vegetables is to put the sheet pan in the oven while it preheats. Adding the oiled vegetables to the piping hot sheet pan starts the cooking process immediately. No more sogginess.

Going to try your recipe tomorrow, I liked this one better than the others😁👌🏽

Thanks I had some and I was wondering how to cook it fast and easy

Made this evening. Lightly seasoned my eggplant with dried mushroom powder and used feta. Otherwise, made as shown and it was excellent. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this; I was looking for a vegan eggplant pasta dish, but I think I can find a good enough vegan version of ricotta salata to make it work. And the stars are the roasted eggplant and the pasta anyway. This looks great!

Soo simple, thank you for all

love to try this at home.

Gotta try that. I always cooked the eggplant in the sauce but i guess roasting it might tastier.

Beautiful recipe

Pasta alla Norma is one of my favourite Italian dishes, named after Bellini's opera. It's also great as a Pizza Norma: fried eggplant with ricotta salata (feta works fine if you can't get it).

I ate that dish on sicilia in the city of messina in the Trattoria al Padrino, it was a blast. Really love these types of food, especially pasta! :* Thx for sharing!

Great recipe, great video!

My relatives from Palermo make tomato sauce with onion, but not fried onion: they add water and soften them like that. Then they add the tomato (and a little sugar, if necessary) and the basil. They fry the aubergines, but only after soaking them in salted water and then rinsing them, squeezing the water out and patting them dry (unless they're using a different kind of aubergine, often called 'melenzane tunisine', which don't have to be soaked).

That's a good eggplant that's not beaten too much but pretty much coated with the sauce!
