This dish, inspired by the classic Sicilian Pasta alla Norma, is one of the best recipes you can make for a pasta night, especially in the summer. The tomatoes turn sweet and juicy, creating an irresistible sauce, while the lightly fried eggplant works its magic. Traditionally, it’s topped with ricotta salata, but if you can’t find it, Parmigiano or Pecorino will be just as delicious.
