Preparation

Step 1
Bring 3 quarts of water to boil for the noodles. Preheat the broiler.
Step 2
Wash the eggplant and slice off and discard both ends. Cut it into slices ½-inch thick and place on a broiler pan. Broil on each side until the slices are browned. Total broiling time should be about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Cook the noodles according to package directions and drain.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet and saute the garlic and onion until the onion softens. Add the mushrooms and saute 1 or 2 minutes longer. Add parsley, oregano, basil and tomato puree. Cook over low heat 5 minutes or longer, until eggplant is browned. Season with pepper.
Step 5
Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer in a shallow ovenproof baking dish. Top with noodles. Cover with cheese slices and tomato sauce. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes to melt cheese and heat the dish through.
