Tags: Tasty, Vegetarian
A reinterpretation of a Mediterranean classic: tortelli alla norma with eggplant, tomato, basil, and salted ricotta.
The handmade tortelli are served with a “alla norma” sauce made with tomatoes, eggplant, and fresh basil. Salted ricotta completes the dish, adding savory depth and a subtle, aged dairy note.
The dish strikes a balance between the acidity of the tomatoes, the softness of the eggplant, and the texture of the fresh pasta, resulting in a clean and distinctive flavor profile.
