Add all other ingredients and mix thoroughly together, ensuring every bit is covered in sauce.
1 head Garlic, 1 large Zucchini, 1 small Eggplant, ¼ cup Nutritional Yeast, 1 teaspoon Black pepper, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1¼ cup Water, 1 cup White bean, ¾ cup Black olives
Cover with lid or foil and bake in a pre-heated oven 180C (360F) for 50 minutes. Allow 10 minutes of resting time with the lid on (do not open the lid!) and then serve warm or cold.
Servings size; there may be leftovers.
Do not open the lid whilst baking, the lid helps with moisture retention which assists with baking.
Flatten out the top layer and ensure the sauce covers everything, any sticking out bits, especially pasta, will be crunchy.
