JO MAMA'S WORLD FAMOUS SPAGHETTI
My kids will give up a steak dinner for this spaghetti. It is a recipe I have been perfecting for years and it is so good (if I may humbly say) that my kids are disappointed when they eat spaghetti anywhere else but home! In fact they tell me I should open a restaurant and serve only this spaghetti and garlic bread. In response to requests, I have posted the recipe for Recipe #28559 that uses approximately 1/2 of the sauce from this recipe. Have spaghetti one night and lasagna later! Thanks to all of you who have tried my recipe and have written a review. I read and appreciate every one of them! Chef Note: After I posted this recipe I remembered a funny incident--my dear husband usually has a nice bottle of wine handy so when I make a batch of spaghetti I just help myself to a splash of it. On one occasion, there wasn't a bottle opened, but there was a bottle sitting on the counter so I got out the corkscrew and helped myself. For some reason, the spaghetti that night was the best ever. My husband asked what wine I put in it and I showed him the bottle. He nearly fell off the chair. I had opened a rather expensive bottle he had bought to give his boss. Goes to show you--don't use a wine for cooking you wouldn't drink. You get the best results from a good wine!

JO MAMA'S WORLD FAMOUS LASAGNA
Wondering what to do with leftover sauce when you make Recipe #22782? Here is the perfect answer. Don't skimp on the sauce--this is best when you use 6-7 cups of sauce. Prep time assumes you have already made sauce. I like to make this up in 2 smaller casseroles so I can serve my family one and freeze the 2nd one for later.

Steps:

- In small bowl, mix cottage cheese, oregano, salt and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.

- Follow with another noodle layer, remaining cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and 1/3 sauce.
- Top this with a final noodle layer covered with remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese over top.
- Bake in 350°F oven for 30-40 minutes until casserole is bubbling and slightly browned on top.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
- Cook the sauce over low heat for a long time. This will help the flavors to develop.
