Classic pasta alla norma is a dish that's better than the sum of its parts. Eggplant, tomato, salty cheese, basil, and oregano may seem like a simple ingredient list, but combined, they make for a bright, herbaceous, and summery pasta dinner. Here the same heavy hitters feature on a sandwich rather than in a bowl: between halves of ciabatta you'll press under a heavy pot to make a crisp panini.

I'm a lover, not a hater...of all types of shellfish, while my husband Doug, on the other hand, only likes mussels. Maybe it has something to do with their slightly different textures or the fact that clams live in sand and mussels live on rocks, piers, and pilings. Personally, I'm not going to judge how shellfish live their lives, because to me they are equally delicious. However, if you're like Doug and prefer one kind of shellfish over another, feel free to make this recipe with just that one.
