if you really must cook pasta is the way to go!

fry some hot sausage and ground beef with onions and garlic drain

in a large sauce pan combine a can or two of whole tomatoes with garlic oregano a bay leaf or two and simmer for two hours stirring often

add meat mixture when the sauce starts to blend together

add a bit of salt and a bit of sugar and continue to heat

prepare garlic bread set aside to heat later

store bought or your own its simple

cook pasta drain

toss a salad with a wine based dressing chillor(or a vinaigrette)

buy good cheese        asiago parm or such and grate it into a nice bowl

set table...dinner is ready as soon as bread is out of the oven!

Answer 7

i made eggplant parmesan last night & it was SO GOOD & everyone was really impressed! it is a bit time-consuming, but really not too hard. just peel a few eggplants & cut into like 1/4-1/2 inch slices, then salt them & put them in a strainer for awhile (to get some of the water out; you might need to squeeze a bit more out with paper towels to get them drier). fill a skillet with like 1/2-inch vegetable oil over high heat. dip the eggplant slices in beaten egg & then a mix of seasoned bread crumbs & parmesan cheese, & fry in the oil on both sides til golden; let drain on paper towels. to assemble the dish, use whatever tomato sauce you want (i cooked up some diced onion & garlic, added a big jar of ragu, & seasoned with salt, pepper, italian seasoning, & parmesan cheese) & put some on the bottom of your pan.  then do a layer of eggplant slices, more sauce, & mozzarella cheese; repeat layers until the eggplant is used up. bake uncovered at like 375-400 until heated through & cheese is browned.

(you could also make chicken parmesan with a similar method.)

i know these directions sound overwhelming, but it's really pretty fun & easy once you get the hang of it! i served over spaghetti with salad & garlic bread, & everyone raved! good luck :-)
