Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the eggplant into cubes, toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, and spread it on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cherry Tomatoes

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes until they are soft and blistered. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Fry the Capers

    In a small pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the capers and fry until they become crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

  5. 5

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ravioli, roasted eggplant, and cherry tomato mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add a little reserved pasta water. Toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the ravioli, and top with crumbled ricotta salata, crispy capers, and fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
