- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to packaging instruction and drain 2 minutes prior to being al dente. Reserve cooking water.
- Add the pasta to the eggplant tomato sauce and coat well with the sauce Add some of the cooking water if too dry.
- Serve the pasta into a bowl and sprinkle a generous amount of ricotta salata over it.

PASTA WITH ROASTED EGGPLANT SAUCE AND RICOTTA SALATA
I love this dish, Pasta alla Norma. Traditionally, it is made with 1 whole cup of EVOO and lots of chopped baby eggplant. It's good, but if you don't find just the right eggplant to use, the dish can be greasy and bitter. The recipe below is a take-off on Norma that includes all the same elements, but it is never bitter and uses much less oil (making Norma's figure a little better!).

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Place a large pot of water on to boil.
- Place the eggplant on a cookie sheet. Pour about 1/2 cup EVOO into a dish. Brush the eggplant lightly with the EVOO. Season the eggplant with salt and pepper. Add the garlic to the cookie sheet and dab it with EVOO as well. Roast for 20 minutes or until both the garlic and the eggplant are tender.
- When the water comes to a boil, salt it liberally and add the pasta. Cook the pasta al dente, with a bite to it.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO and the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Place the cooked eggplant and the garlic in a food processor and process it into a smooth paste. Add the eggplant paste to the cooked onions then stir in the crushed tomatoes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Toss with the drained hot pasta and the shredded or torn basil. Top the pasta with lots of crumbled ricotta salata.
