Rigatoni alla Norma
The secret to this authentic yet simple Sicilian dish is to start with our high quality sauce that’s loaded with pieces of tomato, garlic and fresh basil. Then cook the eggplant until it’s very tender so it almost melts into the sauce. A dollop of ricotta and a sprinkle of fresh basil are the perfect accent that make this dish fresh and decadent at the same time.
