Penne alla Siciliana

Penne alla Siciliana is a vibrant, summery, and hearty pasta dish that captures the diverse flavors of Sicily, featuring the celebrated trio of tomatoes, eggplant (aubergine), and ricotta salata cheese. It is closely related to the famous Pasta alla Norma.

This dish is a classic example of cucina povera (peasant cooking), using simple, readily available southern Italian ingredients to create a dish that is both complex in flavor and satisfying.
