  1. Combine tomates, tomato paste, oregano and salt.

  3. Fry hot sausage, remove and save fat.
  4. Blend ground chuck, bread, eggs and seasonings together;
  5. Form into 3 inch balls.
  6. Brown in sausage fat.
  7. Add onion and cook in the pan after the meatballs and add to the simmering sauce. (addition that my mom did not do.)
  8. I like onion and lots of them in my sauces.
  9. In a deep 13 x 9 roasting pan, spray with cooking spray, you will thank me later.
  10. Take two scant spoonfuls of sauce and put on the bottom of the sprayed pan.

  15. Preheat ove to 375.
  16. Check lasagna noodles before you put in the oven, if it has sucked up all the liquid....add a touch of water, or wine, to moisten. Your preference.

  18. Remove foil.
  19. Cover generously with Parmesan cheese.
  20. Bake another 15 minutes to make the crusty cheesy top.
