Made this for PAC 07. This sauce is really good! I intended to make this just as listed, however, my family was starving so we didn't wait to bake it in the oven. I did double the sauce and will assemble one casserole to put in the freezer. I use Newman's own Cabernet Marinara for the pasta sauce and a can of contadina tomatoes with Italian herbs. I also used 1/2 sweet Italian turkey sausage and 1/2 ground beef. Excellent all purpose sauce on this. Was terrific even without the cheese and layering. Thanks!
