Ingredients: 4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped; 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste; 2 tablespoons sugar; 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 5 tablespoons butter, cubed; 4 large green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices; 1/2 cup all-purpose flour; 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese; 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

My family likes lasagna, so I usually make it once a week. This variation is one I created to use tomatoes that aren't quite ripe yet. My family and friends love it.

Ingredients

4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
5 tablespoons butter, cubed
4 large green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the first seven ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Dip green tomato slices in flour; brown in skillet on both sides. Remove to paper towels to drain. Spoon 3/4 cup tomato mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with a third of the green tomatoes; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining tomato mixture and mozzarella cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

This is so good. Made it today as a side dish. The tomatoes are from our own garden. Since Green Tomatoes are not available in stores where we live, I can only make this in the summer when we have a garden.

If you are going to make a comment please read the recipe entirely. There are fried green tomatoes in the dish. I have not made this yet but will this summer when I have lots of both ripe & green tomatoes. Thanks for the idea.
