Pasta alla Norma

Pasta alla Norma is Sicily's classic eggplant pasta, ready in about 45 minutes: simmer a tomato sugo over a soffritto with basil stems, sieve it smooth, fry salted eggplant sticks until golden and glaze them with honey and vinegar, then toss rigatoni with the sauce and a Parmesan–pasta-water cream. Serves 2.
