SkinnyMediterranean: Pasta Alla Norma (Eggplant Pasta)

Sharing is caring!

Skinnymixer’s One Pot Pasta Alla Norma (Eggplant Pasta) features in the Budget section of the cookbook SkinnyMediterranean.

The Pasta Alla Norma (Eggplant Pasta) is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

In Venice I quickly learnt how seafood-heavy the cuisine is, so vegetarian dishes became my go-to. Pasta alla Norma was a standout — a rich Sicilian classic with eggplant (or zucchini if you prefer).

Here it all cooks together in one pot, and you can stir through shredded roast chicken for extra protein. Feel free to roast eggplant in advance to save dinner prep time!

Now this recipe is a bit tricky to develop as I have since developed an eggplant allergy! I can confirm that it is equally delicious with roasted zucchini.

I live to cook my eggplant/zucchini in the air fryer for a fast dinner and cook all the sauce and pasta in the ‘One Pot’ in the Thermomix.
