8 oz. Medium Egg Noodles, uncooked
1 eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup egg substitute
3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 (16-oz.) can low-sodium tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Prepare noodles according to package directions. When noodles are done, drain well.

While noodles are cooking, dip each slice of eggplant into egg substitute, then into bread crumbs. Coat each side well.

Spray a cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Place eggplant slices on cookie sheet and place under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, garlic powder, pepper and oregano.

Place a layer of eggplant in bottom of baking dish. Layer half the noodles, followed by half the tomato mixture. Sprinkle half the Parmesan cheese and half the mozzarella cheese on top.
