Pasta alla Norma - Chef Sabrina Mancin

Pasta alla Norma

This absolutely delicious rigatoni with eggplant tomato sauce and smoked ricotta cheese is a traditional pasta dish from Sicily, Italy. My recipe is lighter than the traditional because the eggplants are baked instead of fried but just as scrumptious. For the procedure, check out my Reel on Instagram.

INGREDIENTS

• 185g = 1 ½ cups Carrots, chopped small
• 225g = 2 cups Red onions, chopped small

Whole, peeled San Marzano tomatoes
