This was one of my favorite recipes my grandmother made. My grandparents moved to the States when they were in their 60s..they were born and bred in Catania and then lived in Rome and then moved to the states. We were always on a journey to find ricotta salata because that was a game changer for this dish. When they lived in Italy and we visited, we had it with the real stuff. My grandmother cut her eggplant in thin slices before frying. Regardless, this is one of my favorite pasta dishes if you do it right! Thanks for this video. It reminds me of how much I love this dish and I will make it this weekend!

You are one of my favorite gurus of Italian cooking and this was a great video as always. I have successfully done this dish without frying by letting the eggplant start with the garlic and cooking it with the tomatoes a bit longer. Here in New York, we have ricotta salata available but after adding that we add a couple of dollops of fresh ricotta as a final topping . It doesn't have the same effect as the crunch topping but it is still delicious.

I made this a few weeks ago. The only difference was that I cooked the eggplant in an Airfrier and i did not use cheese. It was abit underwhelming the first but amazing the day after. After watching this again, I see my error as in your case the eggplant spent more time in the sauce whereas i added the eggplant in at the same time as the pasta.

Pastifico Liguori is definitely by the far the best pasta. I’ve seen Pasta alla Norma before and definitely want to try it. Vincenzo I did want to ask, would the dish also work if you wanted to use an air fryer instead frying the aubergine in oil. If so what temperature would you recommend. The reason I ask as is for two reasons, the first is to use less oil for health reasons and the second, I have a disability so sometimes I can’t stand for too long. Grazie

What kind of eggplant is best for this pasta dish? Unfortunately, most American eggplants aren't very flavourful so whenever I make this recipe using those the eggplants pretty much just disappear in the sauce and they aren't the star of the show like in the pasta alla norma I had in Italy. Is there a breed of eggplant that is better than the standard American ones, or is this what I have to deal with for now?
@vincenzosplate8 ай бұрын
In Italy, the traditional eggplant used for this dish is called "Sicilian eggplant" or "elongated eggplant." These eggplants tend to have a sweeter, more delicate flavor compared to the larger American varieties. They also have fewer seeds and a firmer texture, which allows them to hold their shape and stand out in the dish. If you're having trouble finding Sicilian eggplants, you can try seeking out other varieties that are similar in size and texture. Look for slender, elongated eggplants with smooth, shiny skin. Japanese or Chinese eggplants can also be good alternatives, as they have a similar shape and texture to Sicilian eggplants.
