How to add Rectangle to menu item in WPF?

I was customizing the menu item with a rectangle. I need to remove all the characteristics in the default menu item and add the custom rectangle into the menu. I wasn't sure what property of menu item should be override? Any help?

define a template like this:

    <ControlTemplate x:Key="customMenuItem" TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
        <WrapPanel Background="Gray" Margin="3">
            <Rectangle Fill="Black" Width="16"/>
            <ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Header}"/>
        </WrapPanel>
    </ControlTemplate>

then use it as the Template of any menu item.

<Menu>
    <MenuItem Template="{StaticResource customMenuItem}" Header="some text"/>
</Menu>
