Silky fried aubergines and tangy capers come together in a sweet tomato sauce in this wallet-friendly take on a classic pasta alla norma recipe – it’s bright Sicilian sunshine in a bowl. Soak the aubergines with a little salt ahead of time, to help remove any excess moisture – this will stop them being spongy. Serve with a little grated Pecorino or Parmesan, if you like, or leave as is to make this dish vegan.
