"Sugo alla Norma" is the emblem of Sicilian cuisine.The à la norma sauce was cooked for the first time in Catania.It is a perfect harmony of a few simple and intense Mediterranean flavours: the base is a fresh tomato sauce and very fragrant basil; Added to this are the unmistakable fried aubergines (golden and crunchy), which give richness and substance to the dish.The final touch we suggest is a generous grated seasoned salted ricotta, which with its flavor balances the sweetness of the tomato and oil.
It is a dish of such "perfect" goodness that legend has it that it was named in homage to Vincenzo Bellini's famous opera: "Norma".
