Tomato basil pasta with eggplant (and chicken)

Boil 1 package thin spaghetti (or angel hair) whole wheat pasta for 6 minutes, with a dash of salt and olive oil.  Strain in colander when done and rinse in cool water.

Dice 5 tomatoes, about half of a small eggplant, 1 onion and chop garlic, basil, and cilantro.  Cut a lemon in half.  Add some olive oil to a large pot or frying pan, before adding garlic, onion, and eggplant.  Saute for a bit.  Then add tomatoes, squeeze lemon juice, basil, and cilantro and saute for a few minutes.

Slice 4 pieces of chicken breast and season with saltpepper, and herb mix, something like Mrs. Dash.  Add olive oil to frying pan and fry til fully cooked.

This dish can be topped with grated parmesan or other cheese if desired.
