Pasta alla Norma
Sicilian pasta with silky tomato sauce, golden fried eggplant, fresh basil, and a salty shower of ricotta salata. The eggplant is cooked separately so it keeps its tender center and lightly crisp edges.

A slow, uncovered simmer concentrates the tomatoes while garlic and basil provide a clean aromatic backbone. Cooking the gnocchi separately preserves its tender texture, and a small amount of starchy water emulsifies the sauce around each piece.
Refrigerate cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store extra basil separately if possible.
Reheat gently in a covered skillet over medium-low heat with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, stirring until steaming hot; avoid prolonged boiling, which can make the gnocchi soft.
