Step 1

Go to the nearest organic or whole foods grocery store and find the ingredients. If you would like different vegetables, substitute the eggplant with squash and zucchini.

Heat up a pot of water for the noodles. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and bring water to a boil. Add the noodles to the boiling water.
