  1              large           onion -- chopped
  1                                 bell pepper -- seeded & chopped
  2             cloves          garlic -- minced
  3        tablespoons      water -- (more as needed)
  8             ounces         tofu -- (lowfat) mashed
  1         tablespoon      dried parsley
  1           teaspoon       dried basil
     1/2      teaspoon      dried oregano
     1/4      teaspoon      red pepper flakes -- (optional)
  1         tablespoon      nutritional yeast
     1/2      teaspoon      salt -- (optional)
  8             ounces        pasta -- rigatoni or other small tubular pasta, cooked
  4               cups          fat-free spaghetti sauce

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Sauté the eggplant, zucchini, onions, bell pepper and garlic in the water in a nonstick pan over medium heat until tender, adding more water if needed to prevent sticking.

Combine the mashed tofu, parsley, basil, oregano, nutritional yeast, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir the cooked rigatoni into the tofu.

Lightly coat a 3-quart casserole with vegetable oil spray. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the bottom. Layer half the pasta mixture, half the sauteed vegetables, and half the remaining sauce. Repeat layers.

Cover the casserole and bake it for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake another 10 minutes.
