Pasta alla NormaPasta alla Norma is the most popular pasta with tomato and eggplants in Sicilian cuisine, and it’s a symbol of the city of Catania. When it comes to pasta alla Norma, you have to think about the connection between Vincenzo Bellini and the Sicilian town at the foot of Mount Etna. As a matter of fact this dish takes the name from the opera La Norma, of the famous composer from Catania.

In this regard, it is said that many years ago, this simple and sublime dish of pasta with tomato sauce and fried aubergines it was served to a few artists who performed operas at that time. The wonder of the artists was so great that they said, “but this is Norma!” at the end of the meal, thus expressing the perfection of the dish.In conclusion, the exclamation of the artists corresponds to the veneration that the town of Catania has towards Bellini and La Norma. For Catania’s citizens this couple is a symbol of perfection, big things and excellence.

Catania’s citizens gave a great chef touch to this dish, known in every corner of the island: the final sprinkling of baked salted ricotta.
