3/4c water

Recipe
In a large saucepan, cook beef, onions and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Stir in spaghetti sauce, tomatoes, paste, water, parsley, Worcestershire, basil and 1t oregano. Cover and simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. (I simmered it for 1 hour.) Cook pasta according to pkg directions; drain. Combine ricotta, mozzarella, 1/4c parmesan, egg substitute, salt and pepper.
In 2 greased 13x9 pans coated with nonstick cooking spray, spread 1c meat sauce. In each dish, layer ¼ of pasta, 1c meat sauce, and ¼ of cheese mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and oregano. Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour or until heated through. Yield: 2 casseroles, 16 servings each. (I used one larger flat casserole and had my chilled casserole in the oven 2-1/4 hours)
