directions
Preheat broiler. Generously grease 2 nonstick baking sheets with olive oil. Lightly oil a 9x9" baking dish. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange slices in a single layer on prepared baking sheets. In batches if needed, broil until slices are tender and lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine garlic and crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1/3 cup garlic-tomatoes into bottom of prepared baking dish. Layer 3 to 4 eggplant slices on sauce, overlapping slightly. Top with 1/4 cup bread crumbs. Spoon and spread 1/4 cup garlic-tomatoes over bread crumbs. Layer 3 to 4 slices mozzarella over tomatoes. Repeat layers, ending with mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake on middle rack until sauce is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until bread crumbs are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Serve eggplant parmesan over noodles along with salad mix topped with a drizzle of olive oil.
