I made this last night. I used Raos premade sauce. I used mozzarella chunks because no parm. And I added mushrooms. It was absolutely delicious! My family loves it. The red pepper flakes added a great flavor that was subtle. The roasted eggplant was so good in this dish.

Love eggplant! Love this recipe! And I have a tip for remembering to save pasta water for sauce — put the measuring cup in the colander so it’s there for you when you drain the pasta!

I’ve made a very similar recipe several times. I suggest adding 1/4-1/3cup of toasted pignoli (pine) nuts to it. They add a nice crunchy balance to the soft ingredients.

This is amazing! I never heard of Pasta alla Norma. I was reading a book and one of the characters was Sicilian, and they spoke about Pasta alla Norma so I was intrigued. My husband and I have “pasta Wednesday” every week so I decided to make this dish. I searched online for recipes, and I decided on this one, and I’m so happy I did! We absolutely loved it, and my husband has raved about it even eating the leftovers. I did make your marinara sauce recipe, but I didn’t remove the onions, instead I used an immersion blender to incorporate all of the flavors into the sauce, and I simmered it for about 90 or so minutes and it was delicious! I also used fresh basil from my garden. Thank you!

Made this tonight with two eggplants from the garden. I didn’t have time to make your sauce since I started at 5 pm, so just used Wegman’s marinara. The basil, eggplant, oil and seasonings really elevated the store-bought sauce. My husband and I loved it! Will try making again with your Marinara recipe!
