"Based on the Sicilian dish pasta alla norma, each package contains two small trays of rigatoni noodles and eggplant tossed in tomato sauce and béchamel with mozzarella, provolone, and unspecified hard grating cheeses - a category that includes varieties like Parmesan and Pecorino. It may not be exactly a pasta alla norma, in which it would be more traditional to find ricotta salata. Similar to the ricotta versus béchamel debate in lasagna, both sides are winners in the end."
"When it comes to the 3 Cheese Pasta with Eggplant from Trader Joe's the messaging is clear: buy, buy buy! "I tried today and it is SOOOOO good! I could drink this sauce," one Redditor wrote. Another shared that, after their first time sampling it, they went back the next week for not another package, but five more. Most customers are less extreme in their excitement, but it is clearly a favorite across the web."
Trader Joe's sells 3 Cheese Pasta with Eggplant as a frozen rigatoni dish that mixes eggplant with tomato sauce and a béchamel containing mozzarella, provolone, and hard grating cheeses. The product is inspired by Sicilian pasta alla norma but uses béchamel rather than traditional ricotta salata. Each $4.49 package contains two small paper trays to enable easy portioning into two meals. Online shoppers have widely praised the sauce and flavor, with some customers buying multiple packages after trying it. The main complaint centers on the small tray sizes rather than taste.
