I’ve made a Sicilian dish for lunch today. Recipe from Pappagallo, for a change. \ud83d\ude42 I always have an aubergine or two in the fridge since moving to Italia, I always have a few bottles of quality passata in the pantry, one thing I didn’t have was ricotta salata to be grated on top. I had to substitute it with Parmigiano Reggiano, but hopefully I get to try the real deal in Sicilia in 64 days- Izzie keeps count! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First job, before I unrolled my mat for pilates this morning was to slice the aubergines, sprinkle some salt on them and let them release some water. I gave them almost an hour to do so. Towel dried them and fried, in batches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick and simple tomato sauce was spitting all over the cooker, pasta was cooked. Once the melanzane were ready, I roughly chopped them and added to the sauce. Adjusted the seasoning and we were ready to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently into 6th consecutive week of doing a 25-40 minute workouts 5 times a week. I’ve never in my life lasted that long. Not too sure what a plate of this delicious pasta with fried melanzane did to my efforts this morning, but it was a lovely lunch! <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
