Pasta alla Norma (Italian: [ˈpasta alla ˈnɔrma]), earlier called pasta con le melanzane (lit. 'pasta with eggplant'),[1][2] is a pasta dish made from eggplant. It is typical of Sicilian cuisine,[3] from Catania in particular.[4]

It is made of penne or other pasta with tomato sauce, covered with slices of fried eggplant and served with grated ricotta salata cheese[4] and often basil.[5][6]

It was named in honor of the native of Catania Vincenzo Bellini, the composer of the opera Norma.[4][2] It is said that the Italian writer Nino Martoglio exclaimed "This is a real 'Norma'!", meaning a masterpiece, when he tasted the dish,[6][7] although the name is not attested until decades after his death.[8]

Pasta alla Norma was named "dish of the year" by the BIT [it] Tourism Award in 2018.[6]
