Pasta alla normais a traditional Italian pasta with eggplant in a tomato sauce.
I like to make Pasta alla Norma using tomato passata instead of crushed tomatoes because it makes it saucier.
I love how the pasta sauce clings to the pasta strands as well as the plump roasted eggplant.

I find a slightly smaller size is more suitable for pasta for dispersion and how it eats.
Good trick for when you are making quick sauces!
Any white wine thats not too sweet or woody will do here.
its just not true, traditional Pasta alla Norma thats all!
Here it is with thyme instead of basil.
And its still absolutely delicious!
Then just add the Tomato Passata, dried herbs, salt and pepper and simmer for just 5 minutes.
Finally, fold through the roasted eggplant, toss through pasta, throw in some basil and youre done!
It really is a complete meal.
The balsamic dressing in that salad really complements the flavour in this pasta.
Otherwise, put together your own salad with aBalsamic Vinegar Dressing.
For a big Italian night in, add a side of properItalian focacciaorgarlic bread.
Or if you want to goallthe way, upgrade toCheesyGarlic Breadand finish with a classicTiramisu.
And dont forget to invite me over for dinner!
