'PASTA ALLA NORMA.Take your tastebuds to Sicily with my recreation of Pasta alla Norma – aptly named after an opera and sure make your stomach sing! This tomato based pasta combines the perfect balance of salty cheese and delicious eggplant to create an envious vegetarian explosion of flavours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL (IT’S FREEEEEE ;-) http://bit.ly/SubscribeToMyYOUTUBEchannel Share it with your FOODIE friends on FACEBOOK Get the recipe on my website: http://bit.ly/PastaAllaNormaRecipe Check out my website for full recipes and to follow my blog: http://bit.ly/vincenzosplate ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SICILIAN PASTA WITH EGGPLANTS INGREDIENTS: 300g Casarecce Pasta Handful of fresh basil 400g peeled tomatoes 1 garlic clove 1 x eggplant (large) Ricotta salata Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) Vegetable oil (for frying) Salt + Pepper 5L water UTENSILS: 2 medium sized deep fry pan Wooden spoon Large pot for boiling pasta Pasta strainer Grater Knife METHOD: 1. Heat up vegetable oil in a deep fry pan. 2. Cut the eggplant into strips that are around 1cm in width. 3. Fry the eggplant strips until they start to brown, then remove them from the oil and place them on kitchen paper so the oil absorbs on it. 4. Heat up EVOO in a deep pan on a low heat in preparation for cooking your sauce. 5. Add garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes. VINCENZO’S TIP: Make sure the garlic doesn’t burn! If it starts to brown add a few drops of water. 6. Add 400g Italian peeled tomatoes to a bowl, sprinkle salt over the top then break them down using a potato masher. 7. Add dried oregano, pepper, fresh basil leaves, mix together and add to the pan. 8. Stir it gently using a wooden spoon and simmer on a low heat. 9. Add 3/4 of your eggplant strips and leave to simmer for around 40 minutes. 10. Once it is almost ready, grate a handful of ricotta salata into the sauce and leave it to melt. 11. Boil water in a large pot, add a small handful of rock salt and let it dissolve. 12. Add the pasta to the pot and cook according to the packet instructions (I strongly recommend using Pasta Casarecce as it’s the closest you will find to Maccheroncini). 13. Once the pasta is cooked, strain it and add it to the sauce. 14. Later the sauce over the top of the pasta using a wooden spoon. HOW TO SERVE: 1. Serve a portion of the pasta alla norma in the centre of a coloured plate. 2. Grate some ricotta salata on top and finish with a few pieces of eggplant on top along with some fresh basil leaves E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to my YOUTUBE CHANNEL http://bit.ly/SubscribeToMyYOUTUBEchannel LIKE ME ON FACEBOOK http://bit.ly/facebookVincenzosPlate FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM @vincenzosplate http://bit.ly/VPinstagram FOLLOWM ME ON GOOGLE+ http://bit.ly/VPGoogleplus FOLLOW ME ON LINKEDIN http://bit.ly/VPlinkedin FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER http://bit.ly/VPTwitter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also join this Incredible FOODIE community: \"ITALIAN STYLE FOOD REVOLUTION\" FOLLOW ON GOOGLE+ http://bit.ly/Italianstylefoodrevolution FOLLOW ON FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ItalianStyleFoodRevolution/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It would be awesome to watch my videos in different languages.
