A "mother noodle" in Sicily, Italy, named after the opera "Norma". It is a "vegetarian" side. Apart from cheese, there is no other meat or seafood, so it is also called "the poor man's food", but the taste is not inferior because of this——

Eggplant, tomatoes and paprika bring a slightly sour and spicy taste, which is like a variant of "Jiasi"; olive oil and cheese bring a smooth and fragrant taste, full of Mediterranean flavor; a handful of fresh basil highlights The aroma and aftertaste of western food. The method is very simple and it is definitely worth a try. "
