PESTO ALLA NORMA - USES AND CONSUMPTION:
Pesto alla norma reflects par excellence the Sicilian culinary tradition and especially that of the city of Catania.
To create this simple yet pleasant-tasting product with the intense Mediterranean scent of its ingredients, you need aubergines, sun-dried tomatoes, oil and basil, all typically island foods that evoke the summer season.
Pesto alla norma is prepared by frying aubergines, to which dried tomatoes, a few cloves of garlic and fresh basil leaves are added. This preserve can be spread on bread, croutons, or toast, with the addition of a generous sprinkling of salted ricotta, exclusively sheep's milk cheese. Pesto alla norma is excellent with fish, meat and especially pasta dishes.
Tradition has it that pasta alla Norma was named after the playwright Nino Martoglio, who equalled pasta alla 'Norma' in goodness and exquisiteness to Bellini's wonderful and famous opera of the same name, 'La Norma'.
