Yeah... use 2 cans of plain old canned tomato sauce and 6 oz. tomato paste
and season it from there (basil, oregano, garlic). For some reason the mfg.
of the jarred stuff think people want lasagna sauce to be sweet. You may
also want to blend the ground beef with some bulk Italian sausage. If not,
add some fennel seed to the sauce for a nice touch.
