Maccheroni alla Norma: Method

  1. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil.
  2. Add the minced garlic and Mutti Cherry Tomatoes (Ciliegini). Cook for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally and season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  3. In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil and once the oil reaches the appropriate temperature, deep fry the cubed eggplants until they turn golden brown. Remove the fried eggplants from the oil and place them on absorbent paper to drain any excess oil.
  4. Then add them to the cherry tomato sauce along with torn basil leaves.
  5. Bring salted water to a boil and cook the Maccheroni Pasta until they are al dente, then drain them.
  6. Add the Maccheroni Pasta to the sauce with eggplants and toss them together over medium heat for about 3 minutes. To serve, plate the Maccheroni and top each serving with a generous grating of salted ricotta cheese. Enjoy your delicious Maccheroni alla Norma!
