Salsa alla Norma (Roasted Tomato, Eggplant & Pecorino)

 Sold in 12 oz Jars. Good for 1 pound of Pasta.  We are excited to showcase our version of this dish in a complete sauce form. 1000 Stone Farm cherry tomatoes are roasted in organic olive oil and blended with Le Page farm eggplants. This thick sauce is then studded with 6 month aged Tuscan Pecorino. An older Tuscan Pecorino, Tuada (Italian for “cellar”) bridges the gap between the younger Tuscan Pecorinos and the more aged Roman-style Pecorino Romano. This roasty, rich and delicious sauce is a show stopper. This limited edition sauce  is delicious with our Bucatini, Lumache & Gigli pastas.  Pasta alla Norma is a traditional dish from the coast of Sicilian in the city of Catania. Traditionally this dish features a tomato sauce with fried eggplant pieces topped with ricotta salata.  The history of this dish has 2 different stories. Our favorite is that this dish was named for the opening night of Vincenzo Bellini's Norma opera on December 26, 1831.  Ingredients: Tomatoes, Eggplant, O
