Tips
This recipe is not quick, but well worth it.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Slice eggplant into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices. Salt each piece and place into a colander. Put a piece of wax paper on top and weight down with a heavy bowl. Let sweat for about 45 minutes.
In a large sauce pan combine tomato sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 45 minutes.
Remove eggplant from colander, rinse, and pat dry with paper towels. Coat each slice with flour and place on foil covered baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Put in the oven and cook about 45 minutes, turning halfway through. Keep a close eye to make sure they don't burn.
Once both eggplant and sauce is done, get a 9 x 5 baking dish. Start with a thin layer of sauce on the bottom, followed by a layer of eggplant, then sauce, then eggplant, then sauce. Top with mozzarrella cheese. Put back into oven for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and/or browned. While doing this, cook the spaghetti.
Cut eggplant into 4 servings. Divide spaghetti into 4 servings. Place one serving spaghetti on plate, top with sauce, place eggplant serving on top of that (or on the side if you prefer).
Enjoy!
