Pasta alla Norma – Perfect Fried Eggplant Every Bite!

If fried eggplant and pasta are involved, you already know it’s going to be sensational! Pasta alla Norma is one of those simple Italian dishes that has no business being this good because there’s such few ingredients but in fact it really is one of the best pasta dishes ever! Crispy golden eggplant, double tomato in the sauce, basil, plenty of parm and, because I make the rules in my kitchen, plenty of mozz until it’s all melty and glorious. Make it. Trust me.
