Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds eggplant
some sea salt as required
14 ounces whole-wheat noodles
1 large onion
1/3 clove garlic
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
some sea salt as required
14 ounces whole-wheat noodles
1 large onion

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions
Cut the eggplant into slices.
Cook the noodles in boiling salted water until just tender. Drain and keep warm.
Chop the onion and garlic and sauté them in the oil until golden.
Add the eggplant slices and fry until lightly browned on both sides, using a little more oil if necessary.
Peel and chop the tomatoes and add them to the eggplant mix along with the tomato paste. Season with the spices and add just a little water, simmering gently until the eggplant is tender and you have a thick sauce.
Place alternate layers of pasta and sauce in an oiled casserole dish.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Alternatively, cover with wax paper and microwave for 7-8 minutes.
