For the bechamel sauce
- 3 cups milk
- 4 oz butter

Directions
- Cut all the vegetables length wise. The eggplant salt and let it sweat for 1 hour. Rinse the eggplant thoroughly and pat it dry.
- Place aquafaba and bread crumbs in separate bowls. Take each vegetable, dip it I aquafaba, then bread crumb and place it on a baking pan. Spray oil lightly on the vegetables to bake.
- Bake each vegetables separately at 350 degree F for 20 minutes or until golden brown – eggplant first, then the peppers, then zucchinis.
- While the vegetables are baking – make the bechamel sauce. In a sauce pan, boil the milk, add butter, flour, nutmeg and the cheese. Keep stirring until the liquid thickens.
- Grease 9 x 13 baking pan – I always use Walton non-stick pans.
- At the bottom lightly spread truff pasta sauce. Layer each baked vegetable one on top of the other in the pan.
- At the top, spread the tuff pasta sauce.
- Spread the Bechamel sauce and bake it for 30 minutes or until done at 350 degrees F.
