Hello friends! If you like eggplant and delicious simple pasta, this recipe is for you! Pasta alla norma is tomatoes and eggplant sauce with herbs, I used thym. This recipe is very simple to make as usual, healthy and very delicious. My meat eater husband love it.
Last summer, I went to Italy with my husband and it was great vacation, lots of delicious food and beautiful places. I love Italy, I think it’s one of my favorite country! The food there is so inspiring and always delicious.
I’m sure my Pasta alla Norma is maybe not the real Italian version but it’s still good. I used rigatoni pasta for this sauce. I really like this pasta form. For an extra plus, I added a spoon of ricotta on the top with parmigiana, so good.
I have a personal update! We have recovered our car yesterday! Finally! 15 days at the mechanist. I was very tired to do my food shopping in bus… Well, normally this time is over, I hope!
What is you favorite pasta recipe??
Best,
Mary
