You can alter the ingredients by using less or more, add mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant or whatever! You can also use the ready made Italian seasoning from the store instead of buying basil, oregano & bay leaves. You know that Prego & Ragu and several other store bought sauces are meatless and you can't hardly beat the taste maybe even better than homemade and certainly cheaper!
4 medium onions, chopped or frozen
1-1/4 teaspoons pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil olive oil is better
4 garlic cloves, minced
12 cups chopped peeled fresh tomatoes or canned
3 bay leaves
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
Hot cooked pasta
In a large heavy pot or dutch oven, saute the onions and pepper in oil until onions are tender. Add garlic, tomatoes, salt, bay leaves, oregano and basil or just the premade Italian seasoning . Simmer for 15 min., stirring occasionally. Add tomato paste and brown sugar; simmer 30 min. or longer. Remove bay leaves. Serve over pasta. Add the mushrooms or other veggies after the first 15 min. Tip whisk or stir a little water in the tomato paste before you add it to the big pot! It is thick and will blend better. If you decide to get the store bought just add the veggies in and simmer till tender.

Fresh Vegetable Lasagne
Lasagne di Verdure Fresche
SERVES 8 TO 10
3 tablespoons Colavita⢠Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 large white onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
2 medium zucchini, diced
1 medium eggplant, peeled and diced
1/4 cup minced fresh basil
1/4 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
2 medium potatoes, cooked, peeled, and diced
1 pound ripe tomatoes, diced
Fine sea salt to taste
Eight 7 by 6 1/2-inch no-boil lasagne noodles
1 cup diced Italian Fontina cheese
1 cup diced provolone cheese
1 cup diced mozzarella cheese
2 cups Tomato and Basil Sauce or prepared sauce
In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion begins to soften. Add the pepper, zucchini, and eggplant and cook until the vegetables soften. Stir in the basil and parsley. Add the potatoes and tomatoes, stir well, and season with salt. Cover the pan and let simmer until very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 14 by 8 1/2 by 2-inch baking pan with olive oil.
Place 2 lasagne sheets in the pan, slightly overlapping them. Spoon about 2 cups of the vegetable mixture over the noodles. Scatter the Fontina cheese over the vegetables. Cover the cheese with 2 more lasagne noodles. Spread another 2 cups of the vegetable mixture on top. Scatter the provolone cheese over, cover with 2 more lasagne sheets, and top with the remaining vegetable mixture. Scatter the mozzarella cheese over the vegetables and top with the remaining 2 lasagna sheets.
Press down on the top sheets with your hands to compact the layers. Spread the tomato sauce over the top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Let the lasagne cool for about 5 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve immediately.
Note: Cooked lasagne can be frozen for as long as 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator and reheat in a moderate oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
Spaghetti with Black Truffles
Spaghetti ai Tartufi Neri
SERVES 4
2 fresh black truffles or 2 canned (if you must)
2/3 cup Colavita⢠Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 pound Colavita⢠spaghetti
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Grated Pecorino cheese (optional)
If the truffles are dirty, brush them with a mushroom brush or a paper towel. Slice them very thin with a truffle slicer, a sharp knife, or on a box cheese grater. Place the truffles in a shallow dish and pour the olive oil over them. Cover them with plastic wrap, and allow them to remain at room temperature for several hours or overnight.
Cook the spaghetti, following the package directions or the directions for freshly made pasta.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in which the truffles are marinating in a large skillet, and cook the garlic until it is soft but not browned. Turn off the heat and add the remaining olive oil and the truffles.
Drain the spaghetti, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti and the water to the skillet with the truffles. Reheat the mixture over very low heat just until it is hot. Stir in the salt. Transfer the mixture to a platter and serve immediately. Pass the cheese on the side.
hope these help. enjoy.
