Caleb's Pasta Sauce
My favorite sauce: equal parts crushed and pureed tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, EVO, basil, oregano, and cayenne pepper (sparingly to taste). Avoid Hunts brand tomatoes and pre-seasoned tomatoes. Can add browned ground beef, sausage, sausage links, or meatballs.
I use a large can of each of the tomatoes and a tbls of each of the seasonings (to start) EXCEPT the cayenne pepper. Start with 1/4tsp. Then let this simmer on your stove as long as a few hrs. Taste often and add more seasonings to taste.
This is my brother-in-law's recipe and he swears that Hunts brand tomatoes are more bitter than other brands. I would tend to agree with him on that.
Sue's No Boil Lasagna w/my Favorite Sauce
No Boil Lasagna
You Need: 2 large eggs, 15-16ounce container Ricotta, 1/2cup shredded Parmesan cheese. 4cups your favorite pasta sauce, 4cups shredded mozzarella, 1 box lasagna noodles. A 9x13 in baking dish sprayed with non-stick oil.
Combine the eggs, Ricotta, and Parmesan in a small bowl.
Then layer things in the following order:
Sauce, noodles, ricotta mix, moz cheese, sauce. Repeat until done. Make sure you end with sauce then top with more moz cheese.
It's important that the noodles are always on top of the sauce.
Cover with foil! Bake at 350F for an hour. Remove foil for last 10-20mins if you like your cheese toasted. I know mine is done when a knife sinks into it and I think "Yum".
Serve with salad and bread.
Variations: cottage cheese can be used instead of Ricotta and is usually cheaper. Italian mix cheese can be used instead of Parmesan (also cheaper). Feel free to add meat to your sauce. I don't only because it makes it more costly and it's still good w/o it.
BTW: I've made this entirely from items purchased at Aldi. It freezes well. It's great to give to a family who needs a meal such as if someone in your church has surgery or has a new baby. It's inexpensive. Each lasagna makes 8-10 generous servings.
