At home we use eggplant in a lot of Indian and Chinese dishes. But I also enjoy grilled pieces of eggplant on a pizza or in a wrap. I rarely add it to my pasta. So, a few days ago, I decided to try out this Pasta alla Norma, a traditional Sicilian dish which has a rich tomato sauce filled with pieces of eggplant and Italian herbs. I was sold and I hope you’ll too!

Have you ever had Black Bean Garlic Chicken at a Chinese restaurant? Well, I have and it’s one of my fave dishes to order.

So there’s also no need to peel a lot of garlic cloves and you can have a restaurant quality meal in under 25 minutes!
