This is a dish I love and it reminds me of the wonderful flavors and aromas of Sicily. It's a delicious and simple pasta.

Steps

1

Wash and slice the eggplants into rounds.
2

Heat some olive oil in a skillet. When hot, fry the eggplant slices after patting them dry.
3

In a pot, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté two whole, peeled garlic cloves. You can remove them later if you prefer. After a few moments, add the tomatoes or tomato sauce and some of the fried eggplant.
4

Simmer on low heat with the lid on until cooked through.
5

Bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. When the pasta is ready, drain it and toss with the eggplant sauce.
6

Finish the dish with crispy fried eggplant, fresh basil, and grated ricotta salata cheese on top.
