Eggplant Pasta alla Norma

with Parmesan & Parsley

Pasta alla Norma is the Sicilian staple that everyone will love! Roasted eggplant is tossed through a rich tomato sauce with golden strings of spaghetti to hold it all together. We’ve added a couple of other veggies to ours for added goodness; you won’t need to be a vegetarian to love this meat-free meal!

This recipe is under 650kcal per serving.

We’ve replaced the courgette in this recipe with tomato due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Cut eggplant into 1cm chunks. Cut tomato and carrot into bite-sized chunks.

Roast the veggies
2

• Place eggplant, tomato and carrot on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Cook the spaghetti
3

• Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt. • Cook spaghetti in the boiling water and cook, until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan.

Cook the sauce
4

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic and onion (see ingredients). • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Bring it all together
5

• Reduce heat to medium, then add passata, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), vegetable stock powder, the butter, brown sugar and reserved pasta water. Simmer, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and stir through the roasted vegetables and cooked spaghetti. Season to taste.

Serve up
6

• Divide eggplant pasta alla Norma between bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese. • Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
