How to Make PASTA alla NORMA Like an Italian (Eggplant Sicilian Pasta)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 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?
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?
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
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! 😊
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! 👨🍳
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 😄🥹😍
Vincenzo, thank you for all the wonderful recipes on your channel! Growing up I never knew how to cook, and thanks to your videos I've found so much confidence and enjoyment in preparing high quality Italian meals for my girlfriend and I. Cooking is such a fun and wonderful experience, and it makes me happy to see how others enjoy the food I've prepared. Keep it up!!
Glad to hear that you've liked my recipes my friend! Stay tuned for more delicious plates to come 😊
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! 😊
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.
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
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.
Sorry I took a break from commenting on your videos Cant wait to make this soon for me i love eggplant and pasta sooooooooo much i never had pasta alla norma before perfect for my after office meals
Hey! Great to hear from you again, hope everything’s ok!
This is a recipe you’re going to love, can’t wait for you to try this one 😋
My dad always use to fry slices of eggplant.
The smell is amazing!
Oh yes, and they’re a perfect snack 😋 yum
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😊👨🍳🇮🇹

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! 👨🍳🇮🇹
Thank you master!! I love Your pasta !!
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 👨🍳🧀
Your cooking techniques for pasta have made all my food better, thanks Vincenzo!
I don't even like eggplant but i will try this one
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
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! ❤👨🍳
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! 🍝🇮🇹
Love the video
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 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.
I need to try this! Thank you Vincenzo! ❤
I hope you like it. Do let me know how it goes.
As the Pasta Queen would say,…. JUST GORGEOUS….
Note to self: never EVER watch Vincezo’s videos hungry 😅
This guy makes italian food look like it has no limits at all.
The sky is the limit, my friend.
Beautiful! Adding this to my list of Sunday dishes! ❤
Hope you enjoy my friend! Stay tuned for more ❤🇮🇹
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).
Bravo! Thank you for the education!
My pleasure, as always 🙏🏻 will you give this recipe a go?
@@vincenzosplate I will make it today with all my love. Thank you and God bless!
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. 🤗
My favourite pasta! I discovered your channel with the last pasta alla norma recipe you made. I will try this recipe too!
Thank you for following along! I hope you enjoy this recipe 😊👨🍳🇮🇹
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👨🏻🍳
I love your instruction videos more than your reaction videos. 🥰
❤ Definitely on my to make list this week! Looks delicious! 😊
It's so good! I hope you like it as much as I did! 🥰👨🍳
Looks beautyfull and makes me very hungry.
Try this recipe out don't forget to share pictures with us while you're at it.
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 am definitely making this! Yum!
Please do, it's a delicious pasta recipe! 🍝👨🍳🇮🇹
Looks good ❤
Looks so good Vincenzo, I will be making this pasta very soon.
Happy cooking! 🍝🇮🇹👨🍳
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
oooooh yum!❤
Grazie Vincenzo 🙂
Di niente❤
I can’t wait until eggplant season - it’s coming! 👍
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! 😊
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! 😋
Eggplant is my fave veggie! Thank you!
It's so good!! You're going to love this recipe! 😋
Made this and can't believe the flavour the eggplant gave to the sauce..wasn't expecting it to be that good
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! 🍝😋
You have made my day !!! Yeah 😁
Aww thanks for the love and support ❤
That looks darn delicious
Oh yeah, it is! Trust me and give this pasta recipe a go 😍
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 😊
Hey Vincenzo, panetta in maquarie park had ricotta salata if you are chasing it
That’s all, great video! Lovely food, ciao!
I could eat the whole skillet full all by myself😊 it looks divine😍
Hahah me too, it's THAT good!!😊
That looks fireeee 🔥
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?😊
Aay Vincenzo, nice to see you Frenching the eggplant. 😄
Frenching? Did you mean frying? 😅😅
This one might make me an eggplant lover❣️👍😊
Ooooh yess it will! You should give this recipe a go, pleaseeee 😍😋🙏🏻
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.
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.
This recipe is wonderful, thank you Vincenzo. When the recipe of pasta con le sarde ? 🤗🙏
Thanks for the delicious idea my friend! Stay tuned 😊
Fantasico Vincenzo ! Nonna would be proud ❤
I hope she is proud of me! 😊
@@vincenzosplateDefinitely proud of you master Italian Chef ❤
I'm Sicilian Vini, And make this pasta a the time!! I learned it from my grandfather! He came to U.S.A. in the 40's from Sant'Agata. I'm not sure about the spelling, But that's what he told me when he was alive. My roots run deep in Sicily.
But aren't you American then?
@@SatieSatie born in U.S. from Italian roots. You still be Sicilian. My cousin was born in U.S. and he is Sicilian. I think that he's a made man kinda explains it.
@@pottypooo Uhm... Americans have a _very_ different view on heritage than the rest of the world. 😅 I once read "No one is more proud to be European than Americans" and it's so true.
@@SatieSatie I love Italian food. Any kind of food. I just love to cook. I'm a body man -painter by trade.
Classic American claiming to be Italian but never been there
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
Was waiting in between the Video of the Pan tossing and Happy Smiling and Vinny dident disapiont :D
Excellent... Needs nothing more❤️❤️❤️
Just add a pinch of love when you cook it, that's the secret ingredient ❤🇮🇹🍝
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!! 😊
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
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.
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…
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 😂
1:24 tips on always having an keeping fresh basil in your home, during winter months. I grow in my flower bed on summer but I can’t seem to keep it alive inside for more than a week or so. lol It’s way too expensive to buy “premium Basil” for $3.99 for 4 big leaves.
I meant this as a question 😂
if you could provide tips to keep yourself with lots of basil all year round.
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. 🤣🤣
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! 😋
Pure Tossing Bliss!
❤❤
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! 😋👨🍳🇮🇹
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.
Wow wow yo quiero
It's time to start cooking my friend! Enjoy 👨🍳🍝😋
Chef watching you from NewYork. I admit you are the master. Bravo
I appreciate it my friend. Have you tried recreating any of my dishes?
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! ❤
This egg plant strips in the flour - brother you just invented Eggplant Fries
Interesting, I should try that again sometime.
Yum
Yum indeed! 😋 Have you ever cooked this recipe? 👨🍳🇮🇹
No I have not, but I will now, I love eggplant. Thank you@@vincenzosplate
Yummy 😋
It was! I hope you give this recipe a go! 👨🍳😋
@@vincenzosplate I will soon 😋
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
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! 👨🍳😊🍝
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
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.
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.
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.
❤❤
Garlic is very healthy so I add to all my dishes! 👍
Good for you! But not all recipes need to have garlic in them 😅
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!
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 just made this almost exactly how you do it except I used my round bottom Wok to fry the 🍆 with Coconut oil (used it to deep fry without using a lot of expensive coconut oil), Thai Basil and Pecorino Toscano.
Sounds great! Hope you enjoyed! 😋🇮🇹
