1 medium eggplant, peeled and cubed
2 small zucchini, cubed 1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1 clove garlic, minced

Preheat oven to 450F. Place eggplant, zucchini, onion and mushrooms in a 2 quart casserole dish.
In a small bowl combine the tomato paste with the water, and stir in garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and mix well.
