MEDITERRANEAN DELIGHT

Steps:

• In large skillet, brown onion in oil.
• Add peppers, mushrooms, garlic & cook another 3 minutes.
• Add eggplant, stir. Cover & simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Prepare macaroni. Cook only until a piece can just be pressed slightly against pot with spoon. DON'T OVERCOOK! Further cooking will take place in oven.
• Drain and return to cooking pot. Add 1 cup sauce, stir and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Uncover eggplant mixture and add the rest of ingredients, minus the macaroni. Stir and remove from heat.
• Lightly spray 9x13 inch casserole dish with vegetable oil. Place macaroni in and spread out evenly. Top with eggplant mixture.
• Cover with foil.
• Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and return to oven for another ten minutes.
• At this point you could add some grated cheese if so desired.
• When I use tofu, I use the firm style that I have kept in the freezer for a bit. It becomes more "meaty" after being frozen.
