Pasta alla Norma Riserva Privata

Grandma would approve. Maybe.

The classic Norma, but barrel-aged for 18 months — not the ingredients, the dish itself, which is only served after being professionally photographed for a year and a half. Eggplant smoked tableside, with its own dedicated ceremony.

"Every time I prepare it, I cry a little. It's a form of quality control."

— Francesco D'Amplo
