'This classic Sicilian dish of eggplant and pasta in tomato sauce is said to take its name from a 19th century Bellini opera. The eggplant is usually fried before being added to the sauce, but we opted to roast it to concentrate its flavor and condense its porous texture. The eggplant is in the oven for about 30 minutes unattended; use that time to prep the other ingredients, cook the pasta and simmer the tomatoes to make the sauce. Ricotta salata is a firm cheese with a milky, salty flavor. Do not substitute fresh ricotta; a mild feta is a more appropriate substitute.'

(60,016 posts)I roast eggplant cubes tossed in just a few tbsp of olive oil...makes the dish much lighter and healthier.

We always try to catch Christopher's programming when home. They're on Saturdays when normally filled with 'honey-do' stuff. 😄

These are inheritance cookbooks. I do wish they had less photos of the staff, leaving those pages blank so I could copy recipes into the cookbook. You will get lots of email, sale items & recipes.
I have made many meals from them
