Description
This Calabrian style pasta with fried eggplant is a true triumph of flavors! 'Nduja, a typical Calabrian salami, gives an irresistible spicy touch that perfectly matches the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes and the consistency of the fried eggplant. I often prepare it in the summer, when eggplants are at their best. The preparation is a bit longer than usual, but the end result is well worth it. Perfect for a dinner with friends or a Sunday lunch with the family. A rich and tasty dish that will win everyone over!

Preparation of the cherry tomatoes
Wash 500g of cherry tomatoes, cut them into 4 parts and set aside.
