How to Make PASTA alla NORMA Like an Italian (Eggplant Sicilian Pasta)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- This pasta dish is made up of crispy fried eggplant smothered in rich tomato sauce and topped with salty, grated cheese. Originating in Sicily where eggplants grow in abundance, this vegetarian dish is comfort food at its finest. Traditionally made with ricotta salata, we are putting a small twist on this ingredient (as it can be tricky to source) but keeping it just as satisfying.
For this recipe I chose Pasta Liguori, it enhances the dish with its premium quality. The pasta's texture complements the flavors of this pasta dish, creating a delightful Sicilian masterpiece.

This is one of the most Amazing Pastas and it was created by Sicilians
It looks amazing, another great recipe from Vincenzo!
(I'm curious are there any Italian dishes which use Kosher Dill Pickles? If so is that something you'd ever have an interest in making a video about?)
My aunt makes the pickled eggplant with vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt , and hot pepper! But not too hot!! Yummy!! Yessss!
Smell so good Vincenzo! Pure happiness. Part of me must be Italian. So sad you're restaurant is at the end of the world.
Vincenzo come stai? I'm curious if there are any pasta dishes that use bechamel sauce? I've seen you recommend it for lasagna but are there any pasta dishes that use it?
weird.. I thought the eggplant gets salted before being fried...
Look Amazing, as an Asian, one thing I didn't know about the European food is how to select each type of cheese for each menu. Could you help making video on the how to select cheeses?
I visited Sicily last November. I keep eggplant and Ricotta Salata in stock ever since :)
Haha that's so sweet! I'm happy to hear that you loved Sicily! 😊
Last month I went to Sicily for a week and I had pasta alla Norma 5 times cause it was my absolute favorite food. Now, back home I’m trying to educate myself on making it on my own cause I can’t live without this pasta 😄🥹😍
You made a pasta with eggplant I can’t refuse. 🤣 It’s my next recipe to cook from Vincenzo’s Plate. Don’t know why anyone would complain about getting a free recipe from your channel 😕 Everything I made so far has been fabulous ❤
Aw thank you so much for the love and support my friend! I highly appreciate it! Which of my recipes have you liked the most till now? 😊
@@vincenzosplate The Drunken Spaghetti was amazing. Also the Tuna with Cherry Tomatoes , Capers and Pasta. I said to myself, “Self, I can’t believe I made this “ 🤣
Another beautiful dish my dear friend thank you 😊🤗🙏
Ciao Josie, it is always a pleasure for me 🙏🏻 are you going to give this recipe a try?
Note to self: never EVER watch Vincezo’s videos hungry 😅
Penne alla Norma is one of my favourite pasta dishes. Thanks for the tip of coating the eggplant stripes in flour before frying them Vicenzo, I will try it next time.
Hope you enjoy! Let me know if the tip comes in handy! 👨🍳
This guy makes italian food look like it has no limits at all.
The sky is the limit, my friend.
Thank you very much for your videos. I have eggplant already and didn’t know how I wanted to prepare them now I know. I am Italian and love your pasta dishes.❤
Awesome Anna! I’m sure you’re going to LOVE this delicious Sicilian pasta recipe 😋 yum
ha great timing, was looking for alla Norma recipes this morning

Chef Vincenzo, this is a wonderful vegetarian recipe that I can share with My Paisano at work! Bellisimo! 😊❤
It's a delicious vegetarian recipe my friend! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 😊
My dad always use to fry slices of eggplant.
The smell is amazing!
Oh yes, and they’re a perfect snack 😋 yum
Love the video
Your videos and the love you show to each ingredient makes me so happy!
Oh, you’re so kind 🙏🏻 glad to know you can feel the love and passion I put in every recipe! Thank you
Thank you master!! I love Your pasta !!
I grew up in London but my grandmother is from Siracusa, Sicily. Seeing this dish being prepared and eaten brings back memories of that wonderful woman who featured so prominently in my childhood, imparting to me a love of simple and delicious Sicilian home cooking.
Looks good ❤
Passionate, pedagogical and just plain fun! Vincenzo, you have taught me so much and I am so grateful!
Thank you so much my friend! Makes me happy to hear that you've found my cooking videos helpful and easy to follow! Stay tuned for more delicious plates to come😊👨🍳🇮🇹
WOW!!!! Can't wait to try this recipe this weekend!
That's fantastic! 😊 Get ready for a flavor explosion! Let me know how it turns out! Buon appetito! 🍝🇮🇹
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.
Love the video vincenzo love your content your a amazing UA-camr I love watching your videos they are the greatest and the best and the coolest the pasta alla norma looks very yummy and delicious I am so going to make it 😋
Yum! Thank you so much my friend! This pasta looks and tastes delicious 😋 definitely a must try!

Aw thank you so much for trusting in me and my recipes! I hope this recipe makes you change your mind about eggplants! Keep me updated! 😊😋👨🍳
This is the pasta dish that made me go from an avid eggplant hater to absolutely obsessed with them. If you try this dish when it's done well and/or with a very good quality eggplant then it is absolutely incredible. I'm sure you would love it
Very delicious looking pasta. My stomach says that it is hungry again.
Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your video with us.
My pleasure! I hope you enjoy my dishes! 👨🍳🇮🇹
Vincenzo, you never fail to make me salivate while watching your video! I only use your recipes to learn to cook italian food. Thank you!
Haha that's how you know that the recipes are delicious my friend! Happy cooking! 👨🍳🇮🇹
My favourite dish!! I love eggplant in everything haha… you reminded me to make it, thanks Vincenzo 💚
You just made me hungry at midnight 😋😋
It's so good, hope you enjoy my friend! ❤👨🍳
Looks beautyfull and makes me very hungry.
Try this recipe out don't forget to share pictures with us while you're at it.
Looks so good Vincenzo, I will be making this pasta very soon.
Happy cooking! 🍝🇮🇹👨🍳
You have made my day !!! Yeah 😁
Aww thanks for the love and support ❤
Grazie Vincenzo 🙂
Di niente❤
Now, my mouth is watering again. Need to get some Eggplants and cook this dish. Thanks for sharing!
You should! It's a delicious pasta recipe! Enjoy! 👨🍳🇮🇹🍝
I had pasta alla norma in Palermo, I really liked it🙏 I think they made it with Ricotta. I didn’t think it’d be this easy to make! Now i need to go and pick up an eggplant and get to cooking👨🏻🍳
My all time favourite. I agree that other cheeses work better than ricotta salata- I tried even grated manouri cheese for garnishing with some ricotta in the sauce, and it was nicer. Can’t wait to try it with pecorino romano!
I hope you like the flavor that pecorino romano gives to this recipe! Enjoy my friend 👨🍳🧀
Eggplant is my fave veggie! Thank you!
It's so good!! You're going to love this recipe! 😋
Miam !
I love your way of to talking, your expressions… Italian style. 😄
From a french of french, sicilian and sardinian origins of and in Marseille (⚜️France).
I can’t wait until eggplant season - it’s coming! 👍
Bravo, Vincenzo! You're the best! Love from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Thank you for the support my friend! Sending a warm hug to you! 😊
@@vincenzosplate Thanks a lot! 😊
I could eat the whole skillet full all by myself😊 it looks divine😍
Hahah me too, it's THAT good!!😊
That's not just a delicious meal. That's a work of art! Good job, sir! 👍
Thank you my friend! Will you give this recipe a try? 😋👨🍳🍝
@@vincenzosplate Oh, I'll definitely give it a try! Along with the Pasta Alla Gricia, Pasta Limone, and that delicious artisan bread! 😋
I could cook and eat food like this every day. Simple, quick, not too expensive. When you make food like this, you feel you have created something, not just "Meat and 2 veg". The hard part for me is mantecato. 🤗
I love pasta alla norma! My top 5 pasta dishes are:
Linguine vongole
Pasta al limone
Pasta alla norma
Pasta al amatriciana
Pasta pomodoro
Ive learned how to make all from you Vincenzo. You are a legend!
These are ALL super delicious! Have you watched my “Top 5 Pastas” video?
What s the difference between Pasta alla Norma,pasta all amatriciana and pasta pomodoro?
@@damianlukejasson906 pomodoro is just tomatos i think, Amatricana is with guanciale in a tomato souce.
This one might make me an eggplant lover❣️👍😊
Ooooh yess it will! You should give this recipe a go, pleaseeee 😍😋🙏🏻
Great video the only thing I would suggest is to use avocado oil it’s better for you than sunflower oil and it has a high burn point
Vincenzo, you magnificent bastard!!!…I mean that with respect, my friend…when I want Italian pasta you always deliver the goods…you’re the best…
Made this and can't believe the flavour the eggplant gave to the sauce..wasn't expecting it to be that good
I'm from england but every time I go to sicily this is the thing my nonno makes to welcome me
I bet his pasta alla Norma is divine! Enjoy my friend! 😊
Excellent... Needs nothing more❤️❤️❤️
Just add a pinch of love when you cook it, that's the secret ingredient ❤🇮🇹🍝
Hey Vincenzo, panetta in maquarie park had ricotta salata if you are chasing it
That’s all, great video! Lovely food, ciao!
Fantasico Vincenzo ! Nonna would be proud ❤
I hope she is proud of me! 😊
@@vincenzosplateDefinitely proud of you master Italian Chef ❤
Will try this for sure. my favorites are
Pasta alla Norcina
Pasta alla Carbonara
pasta all olio con Peperonccino
But pretty mutch all of the 4 Roman pastas are pretty good.
This recipe is wonderful, thank you Vincenzo. When the recipe of pasta con le sarde ? 🤗🙏
Thanks for the delicious idea my friend! Stay tuned 😊
Was waiting in between the Video of the Pan tossing and Happy Smiling and Vinny dident disapiont :D
Aay Vincenzo, nice to see you Frenching the eggplant. 😄
Frenching? Did you mean frying? 😅😅
Looks really nice. For the norma pasta I always try to use paccheri. But norma works with every short pasta.
Maybe I should try your style too, something for a change. Thank you for this.
this is one of my favorite italian dishes, particularly with ricotta salata. Definitely a pain to find if youre not in italy though, in germany you can sometimes find it at italian supermarkets.
I'm delighted to hear that pasta alla norma is one of your favorite Italian dishes-it's truly a classic
Very similar to one of my go to pastas -- I just didn't know it by name. Yes, my Sicilian grandmother introduced to eggplant cooked this way. I don't recall her serving it with pasta to me, but the first eggplant I ever liked was fried this way and served with tomato sauce, in a sandwich.
I hope you give this recipe a try! It you like eggplants I'm sure you're going to love this dish! 🍝😋
Pure Tossing Bliss!
❤❤
I'm very happy for today I found a store who had Italian foods like guanciale, pancetta and other ingredients you have used for sale. They were not the cheapest (about € 5/hg) but I must try some day. I'm getting the hang of it now - I hope. Simple and "clean" flavours are the best!
Now you can try some delicious Italian recipes my friend! I hope you enjoy 😊
Vincenzo, I may do a vid of my favorite pastas like you. I am posting my Potato Gnocci vid as well speak 😁. Pasta alla Norma looks amazing my friend ☺️
Oh I will make sure to check out your videos!! 😊
Wow wow yo quiero
It's time to start cooking my friend! Enjoy 👨🍳🍝😋
Grazie Vincenzo! Mia moglie e io vado in la Sicilia la scorsa autunno. Questa è una piatta favorita!
Happy to hear that you had a great time in Sicili my friend! Are you going back?😊
Love your Norma version, it looks delicious. I can almoste smell & taste it. What i love even more is the coarse cheese grater. Where did you find it? Atb ira
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed my version of pasta alla norma. As for the coarse cheese grater, I actually found it at a local kitchen supply store.
Thank you Sir. A piece of bread and the pasta would not have a chance. God Bless, stay safe and warm. Forgot, you are in Australia.
Yummy 😋
It was! I hope you give this recipe a go! 👨🍳😋
@@vincenzosplate I will soon 😋
Yum
Yum indeed! 😋 Have you ever cooked this recipe? 👨🍳🇮🇹
No I have not, but I will now, I love eggplant. Thank you@@vincenzosplate
❤❤
Ok, now I'm hungry...
You should go and grab a plate to satisfy that hunger. I have some quick and easy recipes you could check.
I made this using Smoked Mozzarella, which I never had before, but it is fantastic in this dish!
Glad you liked it! Smoked mozzarella sounds like a delicious addition to this recipe! 😋
I'm gonna make this! 🤤😪
Enjoy my friend! Let me know how this recipe turns out for you 😊
@@vincenzosplate I will Vincenzo, thanks for the reply.🍝😋👌
I would like your view on the german chef Bernd Zehner about his Pasta alla Norma...
Do you have a link that I could check out? Greatly appreciate it.
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
Vincenzo, is there any chance you cook Genovese pasta for us some day?
Sure my friend, stay tuned for the video!
My mother was from Messina and this pasta dish is super yummy. ❤😋😛 (Not being a fan of tomatoes, I'd bury my dish in pecorino romano and red pepper flakes.)
Oh no, it's such a pity that you don't like tomatoes, Italian recipes use them widely 😅
@@vincenzosplate The red ring of death is not for me. 🤣🤣
One of my very favorite, but does take some extra time because of all this frying, yet better to have lot of oil,I usually prefer Bucatini with this dish but Penne may be equally good option or even better, Thanks for sharing
It does take some time but it's worth it! Let me know how this recipe turns out for you! 😋👨🍳🇮🇹
Vincenzo, I want to see you cook cucuza
Thanks for the delicious idea my friend! Stay tuned 😊
Bellísimo and i don’t like eggplant. Now I’ll have to try it. Gracias señor for the video
You're welcome my friend! I hope the recipe lives up to your expectations! 👨🍳😊🍝
I like Liguori a lot, but La Molisana has stolen my heart recently. Great dish overall.
It's wonderful to hear that you enjoy both Liguori and La Molisana pasta brands! They both offer excellent quality pasta that can elevate any dish
My favourite pizza is alla norma. With bufula.
That's amazing. It does taste good too. Where do you usually buy your pizza?
@@vincenzosplate 48h in Elsternwick or Freddy's on Chapel St in Windsor.
Thank you Vicenzo I will try making this!
Question: can't you fry the eggplant together with the garlic just before throwing the sauce?
I guess you fried the eggplant separately because it's too much?
Thank you!
Yes, absolutely! Feel free to experiment with this recipe and let me know how it turns out for you! Happy cooking! 😋👨🍳
As soon as my wife sees this, I'm going to have to go to the store to buy some eggplant so I can make this for her. She loves simple, vegetarian pasta dishes. I make your Spaghetti al Pomodoro for her several times a month. Thank you, my friend! ❤
Looks amazing.
Another question
I am looking for a very good Olive oil from italy. Are there any oils you can recommend?
Hi there 😊 I'd suggest you to check out my UA-cam video where I rate different Oil brands 😊
Thank you 😊😊
this is a great recipe and you can also put salt on the melanzane for an hour before to drain it and make it more salty
That's a great idea!👨🍳🇮🇹
@@vincenzosplate I just found this channel and I love it so much it is so helpful
Garlic is very healthy so I add to all my dishes! 👍
Good for you! But not all recipes need to have garlic in them 😅
This is one of my favorites. I can’t eat it anymore unfortunately, because the older I get, the less eggplant agrees with my stomach 😢
It's tough when favorite dishes become a challenge. Perhaps you can explore other pasta recipes with ingredients that suit you better. I have a huge list of recipes you could check out.
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.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Cooking the eggplant separately and letting it spend more time in the sauce can definitely enhance the flavors.
@@vincenzosplate yes, it was amazing the next day. I have dreams about it sometimes 😂
Oooh, a vegetarian pasta, yum 😋
Hope you enjoy! ❤
@@vincenzosplate I'm definitely going to try it at a time when I have less ingredients to use up!
This egg plant strips in the flour - brother you just invented Eggplant Fries
Interesting, I should try that again sometime.
