This is a comforting vegetarian pasta that is easy to make at home. Start with simple, good-quality ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, olive oil, eggplant, and basil.
Cut the eggplants into 1-inch cubes. Toss with olive oil (or coat with olive oil cooking spray). Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until very tender.
While the eggplant roasts, start the Pasta alla Norma tomato sauce. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat.
