Ingredients

    * 8 oz. whole wheat pasta
    * 1 (1-pound) eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
    * 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
    * 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    * 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
    * 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
    * 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint
    * 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
    * 2 tomatoes, cubed
    * 2 cups fresh spinach
    * 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded smoked mozzarella
    * 2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook pasta and roast eggplant in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Heat a large nonstick skillet lightly oiled over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add fresh spinach and cover. When tomatoes are done and spinach is wilted, remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, basil, oregano, and mint.

Layer eggplant and tomato mixture over pasta; sprinkle with smoked mozzarella and Parmesan. Toss to serve.
