I’ve been making this dish for over 40 years! It’s a family favorite. All my children asked me for the recipe when they moved out, and now they make it for their own kids. This dish never goes out of style!

1 (425g) can diced tomatoes (with juice)

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 teaspoons sugar (to balance the acidity)

225g egg noodles (or macaroni)

1 cup sour cream

1 cup ricotta cheese

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)

Optional ingredients:

1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
