pasta 'ncasciata

Messina
The version from Messina is one of the most common, and is generally made with maccheroni pasta, ragù, fried eggplant, caciocavallo (casciucavaddu in the Sicilian language), pecorino siciliano, white wine, basil and often additional ingredients such as soppressata, meatballs, salami, boiled eggs, peas and breadcrumbs.

Ragusa
The version from Ragusa contains peas, crumbled sausage and ricotta cheese.

Palermo
The version from Palermo substitutes tomato sauce for ragù.

Enna
The Enna version is the most different from the others as it does not use ragù, eggplant or caciocavallo. Instead it uses cauliflower, pecorino siciliano, sausage and other ingredients.

Syracuse
The Syracuse version is most similar to the versions from neighboring provinces of Ragusa and Enna, as it omits the ragù, eggplant and caciocavallo as well, but instead uses ricotta, pecorino siciliano, cauliflower and eggs poured over the dish before baking.

Caltanisetta
In Gela, in the province of Caltanissetta, cauliflower is also sometimes used instead of eggplants, and anchovies are sometimes added.

Calabria
The version from Calabria is most similar to the Messina version made with maccheroni pasta, ragù, meatballs, boiled eggs, fried eggplant, caciocavallo or provola silana, pecorino siciliano and often additional ingredients such as soppressata, meatballs, salami, boiled eggs and breadcrumbs.
