This pasta dish, loosely based on a sausage and eggplant ragù we tasted on a recent visit to Sicily, is ideal for summer: it uses in-season tomatoes and eggplant, and because the pasta is cooked directly in the sauce, there’s no need to heat up the kitchen with a large pot of boiling water. Hot Italian sausage adds a little spiciness, but use sweet sausage if that’s your preference.
Don’t stir the tomatoes more than just once or twice after adding them to the pot. Uncovering to stir releases heat and slows the rate at which the tomatoes burst and release their juices. However, do make sure to stir regularly after the pasta is added to prevent the starchy noodles from sticking to the pot.
