[@brainwashingdetergent4322]

I’ve made this twice now!!! It’s amazing, but living in the middle of the North American prairie, I can’t get the cheeses and meats you use in many Italian recipes. So for this recipe I used Feta cheese, and penne pasta. The second time I made it, I used a little bit of Italian sausage, amazing

[@vincenzosplate]

I know that it is difficult to find the right ingredients, but the important thing is to get as close as possible to the original recipe!

[@torstenneuer1560]

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).

[@brainwashingdetergent4322]

@@torstenneuer1560 thanks! I’ll take a look at how to do that!

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).
