Spaghetti alla norma with pancetta 🍆 Ingredients for 4:  300g pancetta, diced  1 medium eggplant, diced  2 tbsp olive oil  1 brown onion, finely diced  400g cherry tomatoes  4 garlic cloves, finely chopped  2 handful of fresh basil  Salt and pepper  2 tbsp tomato paste  300g spaghetti  To finish:  Freshly grated Parmesan  Fresh basil leaves  Method:  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt heavily until it taste like the ocean.  2. In a non stick pan on medium heat, render the fat of the diced pancetta.  3. Once the pancetta is crispy, remove from the pan leaving as much fat/oil in the pan as possible.  4. Add the diced eggplant into the rendered fat and cook until caramelised.  5. Remove from the pan, add olive oil and saute the onions for 60 seconds.  6. Add the cherry tomatoes and allow them to blister down into a jam like consistency.  7. By now, the water should be at a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.  8. Add the garlic and basil and cook until fragrant. 9. Add the salt, pepper and tomato paste and cook for an additional 60 seconds to cook out the paste.  10. Add 3/4 of the eggplant and pancetta and stir into the sauce.  11. Add a cup of pasta water to create a thick and glossy sauce.  12. Once the pasta is al dente, add it to the sauce adding more pasta water if necessary until your ideal sauce consistency is reached. Salt to taste.  13. Serve with the remaining eggplant and pancetta. Top with freshly grated Parmesan and basil and enjoy!  #pastaallanorma #eggplantpasta #pastarecipe #DinnerIdeas
