I make a great lasagne and can't stick to my past successful recipes. I am always trying to add new ingredients. (I am not sure why I feel the need to re-invent the wheel). Well this time I messed up and am not sure what I did, but it tastes either bitter or too something, I am not sure and I need to fix it today or start all over. It looks great and I hate to start over.
I used fresh basil and garlic; dried oregano, bay leaves, garlic powder, salt etc. and thyme ( this could be the problem, I am not sure why I threw it in, although I only used 1 T in a huge pot). Also have italian sausage, carrots, celery and onions - like I always do. This time I bought a different brand of canned crushed tomatoes that had oregano and spices in it. Should I try sugar? If so, how much?
Anyway, the sauce is either bitter or too strong with something. I am not sure how to fix it. Any ideas!
