4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. Italian seasoning
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
5 tbsp. butter
4 large green tomatoes, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 c. all purpose flour
6 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
2 c. (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese

In a large sauce pan, combine the ripe tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, Italian seasoning, garlic, garlic salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Dip green tomatoes slices in flour; brown in skillet on both sides. Remove to paper towels to drain. Spoon 3/4 c. tomato mixture into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Top with a third of the green tomatoes; sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. parmesan cheese. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining tomato mixture and mozzarella cheese.

Bake uncovered, at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 6-8 servings.
