Pasta alla Norma alla messina. It is no coincidence that I put the article to describe this traditional Sicilian recipe that we have always been preparing in the family. In essence it is a variation of the traditional PASTA ALLA NORMA CATANESE. On my YouTube channel also find the VIDEO RECIPE.
Pasta alla Norma messinnese and catania: Differences
In common the two recipes have tomato and eggplant, but there are also profound differences. Starting from the cutting of eggplants, that in the Messina Norm are in chunks and not in slices. Then the tomato: peeled and not sauce. And again the presence of a sautéed onion. And the use of baked cottage cheese, typical Messina, and not salty. yet, the type of pasta. The Norma catanese usually uses spaghetti, while the Messina one i fresh homemade macaroni or, Alternatively, the short pasta. In short, this is a pasta alla Norma eretica.
This is a dish with more complex flavors than those of the Catania tradition, which I love deeply for its great simplicity and extraordinary taste. This version, though, will remain forever the pasta alla Norma of my heart. Don't forget to take a look at my many RECIPES WITH EGGPLANT, from CAPONATA the SICILIAN PARMIGIANA the PASTA WITH WHITE AUBERGINES and to the FRIED PASTA AND EGGPLANT ROLLS. And now I wish you good day!

Instinctively I pasta alla Norma I did like this recipe because the classic recipe I was excited. Only variation, I don't know if I'm wrong, infarino the Eggplant before frying them because it seems that remain more crispy. Hello
Hi Enza! In many the torments and is a valid Variant. I always think that if the Eggplant is good but not in doubt flour as well! Just remember, this flour thickens sauces and so you have to make them a little’ extra fluids. I embrace you!!
