Steps:
- In a large pan heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the onions, garlic, and finely grated carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly until softened.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and about 1/2 cup water. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in oregano, paprika, crushed pepper flakes, if using. Finally, stir in the fresh basil and parsley.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check partway through, and if you feel the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more water (preferably some of your pasta cooking water). When sauce is ready, throw in more fresh basil, if you like.
- If serving for dinner, add cooked pasta of your choice to the sauce. Mix to combine and let the pasta cook in the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.

VICKI'S THREE-CHEESE GARLIC LASAGNA
I started out with a lasagna recipe given to me by my sister-in-law probably 30 years ago. Through the years, I have changed just about everything and made this recipe my own. The original recipe didn't have any garlic in it at all, a small jar of mushrooms and only 8 oz of noodles. It also had less hamburger. Anyway, this one is mine and everyone who tries it loves it. My husband swears it's the best lasagna he has ever eaten! Please give it a try! You won't be sorry!

Steps:
- Boil lasagna noodles per package instructions. Chop onion very fine. (I use my food processor on the CHOP setting).
- While the noodles are boiling, brown the hamburger in a large skillet and drain the grease. Add the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, onion, garlic, salt and mushrooms. Allow the sauce to cook together on medium low heat for at least 20 minutes to blend the flavors.
- When noodles are finished cooking, rinse them thoroughly in cold water to prevent them from sticking.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large lasagna casserole dish with nonstick spray.
- Begin by adding a layer of noodles, overlapping them in the dish.
- Then evenly spread on half of the cottage cheese.
- Sprinkle on 2 cups of Mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Next spoon on half the sauce mixture and spread evenly.
- Repeat above steps beginning with the noodles and ending with the sauce mixture.
- Top with 2 cups mild cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes.
