Dip eggplant slices into flour then in egg mixture; coat with crumb mixture. Place on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until tender and golden brown, turning once. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions.

Drain spaghetti. Serve remaining sauce over spaghetti; top with eggplant slices. Sprinkle with parsley.
