Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the eggplant slices on paper towels and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt. Set aside to drain.
• Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and fibers. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Scrape the squash flesh out with a fork and set aside.
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pat the eggplant dry and brush on both sides with the olive oil. Place on a large baking sheet (or divide between 2 sheets) and bake until tender, about 15 minutes.
• While the eggplant is baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the spaghetti squash and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook until heated through. Turn the heat very low.
• Coat the eggplant slices on both sides with the sesame seeds. Place a heaping teaspoon of the Parmesan cheese in the center of each slice and roll them up individually.

SPAGHETTI WITH EGGPLANT, BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for just a minute.

Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer until the squash is tender and the liquid is reduced by about half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer gently until almost cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Drain pasta. (Alternatively, you can use dried pasta, which will take 8 to 10 minutes to cook.)
• Toss the pasta, squash mixture, and butter in a large bowl until the liquid thickens slightly and coats the pasta. Transfer the pasta mixture to a wide shallow bowl and serve.
