The Most Delicious Eggplant Chilli Pasta in Italy

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you for watching. My measurements for this are approximate as it’s the type of recipe you can just adjust according to your preferences for different flavours and what you have in your pantry. I used 5 cups of chopped eggplant, olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan as shown), 2 teaspoons sea salt, 2 small red onions, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon- 1 tablespoon chilli flakes depending on how spicy you like things (the dried parsley isn’t crucial, it was just mixed in with the chilli I happened to have), 1/4 cup white wine, 2 x 300g cans crushed tomatoes, small handful of black olives, small handful of capers, 1-2 ladles of pasta water once the pasta is almost cooked and the starch has leaked out, bunch of fresh basil and Parmigiano cheese to top. 🍝🇮🇹♥️ P.S. For everyone asking, here is a video on my cheesecake recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGa3ZX15o5tsqNE 🍰

[@mrsramales]

Thank you Kylie🥰

[@cares3262]

Thank you! I will also use the red lentil pasta. Looks delicious.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Lovely explanations... it is the science of food and the tiny well learned techniques that make a dish. I love Melanzane Parmigiana...so will copy your sauce layered with al dente carrots and green beans for a nice change. (Alas Gluten AND Lectins cause me pain.) Thank you so much lovely lady. 🌻🌞🥳

[@annep1012]

Hello from Melbourne Kylie. Thank you for this recipe, it looks scrumptious.

[@mlang3066]

Oh thank you so much…❤️

[@claireangier3322]

I think you should do an Italian food programme with Stanley Tucci, it would be fantastic!! ❤

[@jeffkennedy1888]

YES!!! A Tucci-Flavell combo would be a critical mass of informative & tasty goodness!!

[@Emi-km9tc]

That would be a dream 😍

[@lyndaandrian7204]

I agree 👍

[@monalisadavinci7076]

What the world needs now is more Italian food 🍝🍅🍆🧅🧄🧀🥗🍕🍷

[@sabrinatoglia4729]

Agree!

[@leonardodalongisland]

Having seen one of your language videos now this, I have to say, you are a natural-amazing instructor/teacher.

[@barbaraszmyt7258]

Limited sleep, countless responsibilities, fabulous cook, and you still manage to look drop-dead gorgeous!❤❤❤

[@jeffkennedy1888]

Yes, Kylie is a real life Wonderwoman!! 💪🎖❤️

[@siboneypeltier2307]

@ barbaraszmyt7258 ...you forgot and still make each video a sensual romance from time gone past!

[@YouMeandSicily]

CIAO !! Great version of our Pasta alla Norma.

[@peterabbott5929]

Eggplant, yes! and those beautiful roses ...love it.

[@joecutro7318]

Beautiful video, Kylie! The opening scenes and segways to the farm had me thinking how much life your presence has breathed into those grounds and the structures over the past few years. Without you and your exquisite designs and tastes, that place would likely be slowly sliding back to the earth like so many classic estates. And, in no way am I overlooking Guido's spirited hard work as well. Bravi! I hope Gianfranco and all that come after you can keep the love you have put into the farm alive for many future generations. Love that spin on Alla Norma including your beaming passion for good pasta in general!😅👍🏼 Can't wait to try it. I have all the ingredients, just have to grab an eggplant! I have been using many of the tips and tricks you mentioned and they really work! Many blessings to all!

[@potterlinda02]

I can't stop thinking of how extremely lucky and blessed you and that sweet child are....considering what you went thru to have him....your videos are so beautiful....as is your whole family...thank you for sharing your life....

[@KylieFlavell]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@elizabethheatley22]

I love your cooking segments Kylie! And so beautifully filmed.

[@jessmcd503]

I appreciate your enthusiasm for a well cooked pasta dish 😋 I’ll be giving this one a go, you made me very hungry 😅

[@miastupid7911]

What an experience Kylie!: Sicily, Norma, Bellini, Maria Callas and the warmth of food and culture and family (estia in its truest form) . You are as authentic as it all is. Thank you. Wish I could taste your creation as well, but you succeeded in bringing us to a place where we all belong.

[@KylieFlavell]

I’m so pleased you enjoyed it all! 😍

[@miastupid7911]

@@KylieFlavell Always. Thank you. Enjoy it all Kylie.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Beautifully said!👏👏👏🌻

[@ronayneoreveee7613]

I did have a go with my husband in tow, but! It just wasn't quite right, unsure why. My husband said it needed meat😂. But we think we need to pop round to you for dinner, so we can compare😅.

[@lindapowell320]

You are so right about the flavours needing to dance together - being half Italian this has always been a kind of instinct when making a sauce and also it’s so easy to taste when someone has been lazy or doesn’t understand the need to cook the flavours when making a sauce especially tomato sauce and not cooking onions for me is a no no!! Great video! ❤

[@tinland771]

Bravo Kylie for stressing the importance of taking your time and allowing flavors to meld together. Often, as you say, people will put all of the ingredients together and think they are finished. Flavors take time to marry, and that period that you allow the dish to simmer is the time that you are allowing the flavors to marry and become divine. Thank you for your important contributions to cooking Kylie. Ciao.

[@rebekahschroeder7949]

I have never seen such a beautiful cooking video in my life!

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you so much, Rebekah. 😘

[@cdesign4700]

Your cooking and baking episodes are some of my favourites! I would LOVE if one day you could release a cookbook! I can imagine it would have such beautiful images and every recipe would be filled with love and taste delicious. The type of cookbook which would get worn out and have ingredients stuck to the pages!

[@KylieFlavell]

That would be my dream. 😍

[@pamelajohansen882]

I have watched this twice and am cooking it tomorrow Sunday. Your excitement for this past is enchanting. Thank you

[@annbrosnan8586]

Kylie, as always this was perfect timing! I was about to go hunting for a recipe with aubergine and you produced the perfect one. Mouth-watering as always and so beautifully filmed. I look forward to making it!

[@KylieFlavell]

Oh how fortuitous! Have a lovely weekend, Ann!

[@angelamoreno5914]

I was also trying to find what to do with aubergines. Perfect timing! Thank you Kylie!

[@SusanM.]

Your channel is unique and refreshing....cooking, lifestyle, personal....I find myself often thinking “What would Kylie do ?”. I know your life isn’t perfect, but it’s the way you handle it is something that is greatly admired.

[@KylieFlavell]

That’s so kind of you. Thank you, Susan.

[@alfredoverdicchio9424]

Hi Kylie your approach to cooking is refreshing. I plan to visit family in Sicily and would love to savour your creations. Do you have a restaurant in Sicily i could bring family and friends. Thank you Alfredo Verdicchio

[@ingridnh1]

Thank you Kylie for sharing this wonderful recipe with us! There is nothing like a eating a delicious plate of pasta made with fresh ingredients! 😋 Will definitely be making this for my family.❤

[@Carangel1509]

This level of passion about pasta sauce is one of the millions of reasons why I live in italy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for making me feel so alive through your enthusiasm!

[@peterm4486]

I’m 100% Sicilian-American and Norma is my favorite dish…you have definitely ramped it up and I can’t wait to make it…thank you!

[@YourFriendAyana]

Your passion for cooking makes me feel right at home. It’s wonderful to have someone else speak about food the way that I do. Food is the medicine that unites the world. It is community, commonality, and nourishes our cells and hearts. Thank you for sharing! You look absolutely stunning :)

[@aris1956]

This dish is also to be eaten with the right music and atmosphere. :)

[@patriciaharding7468]

Kylie, I had a cooking school (am since retired) and I really loved the way you explained deglazing a pan and why we want to do that when we have quite a bit of carmelization (fond)on the bottom of the pan. So much flavor there and we never want to waste that! (Not to mention pan is much easier to clean afterwards!) Anyway, you are so charming and brilliant as well! I always love your posts and salivate when you cook. You do it with such care and love!

[@KylieFlavell]

Thank you so much.

[@ramonawhisenant2045]

Good to see you looking like yourself again - FINALLY.

[@maryschlotter108]

Sooo good, it’s morning in NY but I know what we are having for Sunday dinner. Thank you. My grandmother from Bari woke every morning, washed, dressed and put her apron on. She wore it all day. I’ll always remember her wearing her aprons. They had pockets. One of my fondest memories of her when she reached into her pocket and pulled out a peach pit. She told me that the peach she had eaten was so sweet and delicious. Then we went into the garden where she took her thumb and made a hole in the soil, had me put the pit in,cover it and water as well. She then took a cleaned jar and placed it over it. Eventually we had three peach trees and one apricot. What precious memories Nana Roses aprons are . Imagine the cooking and conversation it has witnessed.

[@shirleygeorge6351]

Exotic as always, angelic Kylie.God bless you 3 & your blessed families.

[@JoanMulhern]

I also made sauce with capers olives and delicate pasta this week we are maltese, God Bless You and Yours.

[@sharleenparrino2297]

Another lovely video Kylie! You’re looking even more radiant these days! Praying baby GianFranco is allowing you better sleep! 🌹❤️💤🙏

[@debrabostwick2250]

Your so right Kylie about letting the sauce marinate. I think this is why left over sauce and pasta eaten the next day is even better!

[@leonardniamh]

Beautiful roses I enjoyed this much Have a wonderful weekend

[@manuelacacciato6729]

La passione con cui descrivi la ricetta…è meravigliosa!

[@martamielcarek9543]

Dear Kylie, thank you so much for this lovely video and the previous videos with Italian for tourists. Tomorrow I'm setting off on a journey with my husband (and our 3 children - the fruit of our love) to Tuscany to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The last time we went to Italy was for our honeymoon :) We're staying in Loro Ciuffenna and are going ot explore the beautiful cities/towns/ landscapes nearby. Your videos have helped me to get ready for this dream holiday. Hugs & kisses, Marta

[@mariafusco7899]

Pasta, opera, passion! Kylie, what a fabulous experience you’ve created on film! I love puttanesca so I know I will love this recipe!

[@marieratcliff2980]

Agree with others , you should really write a cookbook. You not only cook beautifully, but you explain things and give such good tips. This is one I shall certainly be making. Thank you Kylie.

[@sandypotter624]

This is the most delicious pasta recipe !! Better than puttanesca!! There is only one thing wrong- I can’t stop eating it!! Molto bene!! Grazie Kylie❤

[@aliahspirituality]

more than just showing us what to do ,this was very informative on how to really make it a beautiful dish. Thank You!

[@daved7024]

Dear Kylie, I agree with all the others ...fantastic job, again! I wanted the recipe for your Strawberry Cheesecake, but couldn't find it; so, I used your Roasted Peach Cheesecake recipe and substituted strawberries. It was a Big hit; will do the same with all your cheesecake variations. Will cook this recipe, too. I know the LORD blesses you and your family immensely. Love, Bonnie and David East Coast US

[@MsSherrydarling]

Amazing looking dish!! It is true about slowing down your cooking. Those ten minutes of simmering can make such a difference in the flavour❤. A great dish for everyone. . Definitely giving this one a try🤗🇨🇦

Kylie it’s nice to see you so happy and genuinely excited and passionate about what you are doing! Maybe you are finally getting a little bit of sleep. Lol! Your sweet little guy is settling in to a routine. All the best to your family.

[@susanbudd2184]

I love eggplant and I have a bag of the red lentil pasta and a couple of purple shallots! A quick shop and a lovely Sunday dinner ❤

[@RobertLongley1]

I've never liked eggplant, but I think it's worth another try with this recipe.

[@chrisk3387]

hey! A little tip if you don't already do it, if you cut basil make sure its with a super sharp knife or by hand, if it starts getting blackened when you roughly chop it will end up tasting like grass. I used to live in florence and my italian family from the south used to freak out when i would start chopping away at the basil lol

[@ZombiePilot7]

As soon as you mentioned craving those flavors, I was thinking of making caponata. What a beautiful dish, your variation looks and sounds fantastic. ❤

[@cheriemoonquaker4215]

Thank you! This is mouth watering! How you make food sound and look so delicious.. feels like watching one of the old masters like Monet paint a painting.. Loved this recipe.. Rushing off to market to collect the goodies to give it a try! Thanks again Kylie.. My love to you and family...

[@kathleenroberts7972]

I am so hungry from watching this. Ohmy! You are amazing.

[@lirazdemasure936]

Thank you Kylie for another beautiful episode! I am defiantly going to give this one a try. I'm not such an eggplant fan just because I always feel it needs to be deep fried to be tasty, or roasted to death in the oven. I love how you care for the details, and made a few of your recipes already, they are always a success. Warm hugs!

[@yolandevanwyk7930]
