Pasta alla Norma

Great pasta sauce

The roasted eggplant adds such a delicious umami flavor! Added grana padano to the sauce and topped with regular ricotta

I used Japanese eggplant. Sliced rounds and then quartered them. 400 for 20 min.

Never use the marinara sauce.. delicious

I need practice with making eggplant, but even with mine inexperience it still tastes decent. The eggplants didn't have much flavor, I really only tasted the sauce for the most part which was perfect since I have little ones. I also cut the eggplant up into smaller chunks before I added them to the sauce

I added in 1/4 cup of Ricotta as well.
