Baked Pasta Alla Norma

This dish is a Sicilian specialty, it has been around for generations. It will give you that flavor of home with its simplicity and comfort food quality. Pasta alla Norma consists of pasta dressed in strong tomato sauce cooked down to an intense texture before being mixed with eggplant strips and ricotta cheese—the final touch is fresh basil leaves added at the very end so they maintain their vibrant green color.
