Today's recipe is a Sicilian-style anelletti timbale with fried eggplant and a meatball-based sauce. Gluttonous, awesome, a taste riot, scent and color. This timbale of rings is an even richer variation of both the TIMBALE OF PALERMO ANELLETTI (take a look here at the RECIPE VIDEO of the classic timballo of anelletti on my YOUTUBE channel) because there are meatballs. It tastes like the SICILIAN WINTER TIMBALE, that the sauce but not fried eggplant. The timbale anelletti is in Sicilian cuisine DNA, it is a traditional recipe and every family has its variations.

This is the varante of the Sicilian-style timbale with meatballs that we prepare as a family on the occasion of Ferragosto, as an alternative to MESSINESE-STYLE PASTA 'NCASCIATA, They all had the opportunity to appreciate in books or in the TV series Inspector Montalbano, Andrea Camilleri. Obviously, for me it's It is essential that the pasta is Sicilian anelletti, but you can also use a short pasta such as rigatoni, the casarecce, half sleeves. For the meatballs, strictly fried, I use a mixture of ground beef and pork, and then bake in tomato sauce.

All’inside of the Sicilian timballo with meatballs, I add a semi-aged cheese, in my case provola dei Nebrodi. Sometimes I add also boiled eggs, as in traditional timbales. I have enticed enough? Hope you. Take a look at all my other SICILIAN RECIPES and mine RECIPES WITH EGGPLANT and run to prepare this pie. Have a good day!

Before preparing the anelletti timbale with eggplant and fried meatballs you have to do the meatballs and fry the eggplant. For the meatballs, place in a bowl the ground beef and pork, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, an internal egg, 30 grams of bread crumbs, 40 grams of DOP grated cheese and 50 grams of Parmigiano Reggiano Dop.

Pour into the mold half of the pasta with the sauce meatballs, distributed over the cheese cut into cubes and boiled eggs (if you decided to put them) and cover with the rest of the pasta.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees static. When the oven is hot, cook a timbale of eggplant and meatballs for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for 5 minutes before throw. Turn out the timbale Sicilian eggplant and fried patties on a serving dish and serve immediately. Bon appétit!
