Pasta alla Norma, Saturday Sauce Style
Sicily’s most beloved pasta, minus the fuss. Golden roasted eggplant and cascatelli get tossed with a jar of mild Saturday Sauce, which stands in for the slow-simmered tomato base—so dinner comes together with just a handful of ingredients. One jar, one pan of eggplant, and you’re done.

Excited
I bought the sauce because I thought it was such an interesting and unique sauce, and I would really love to incorporate it into my meals. I especially bought it for my school project assignment because, as a marketing student, I feel it’s important to genuinely experience authentic food firsthand so I can better understand the product and the taste of the ingredients behind it. I could literally smell fresh tomatoes even before opening the jar when I unboxed the sauces from packaging box.

So many uses...so little time!
I love Saturday sauce! There are just so many uses for this sauce. My favorites are Shakshouka eggs with zucchini and Moroccan fish, but I have a whole list of more recipes from the website to try. I think chilli is next.
