60 oz of tomato sauce
10.5 oz tomato puree

Directions:

Once the buffalo is 80% cooked (most of the red color is gone), add the 10.5 oz can of tomato puree. Cook on low so that the tomato puree slowly absorbs into the buffalo.

In a large cuisinart, add 60 oz of tomato sauce, add basil and parsley. Blend. Add olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Blend. Add 4 garlic cloves, blend. Add 1/4 sweet onion. Blend. Transfer to a pot, and cook for 30 minutes.
In a large pyrex, add a small layer of the cooked sauce, and add a few of the veggies slices on top of that. On top of that add half of the pasta. Add buffalo on top of the pasta, spread evenly. Add the rest of the pasta on top of the buffalo. Add the rest of the sauce on top of the pasta. Add the rest of the veggie slices on top of the sauce.
Cook on 350 degree for 45 mins to 1 hour. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!

Spank It Like You Stole It: I watched your video...and besides the fact that you look too perfect...I think that all cooking shows should feature men like you, and if they did I might even start watching television again. love your hips. really...really love your hips. (man am I tired).04/28/2008
Peter Adonis: Check out the chart on the 'Buffalo Roast' post. It's lower in calories, saturated fat and cholesterol, but higher in iron and higher in protein than beef, so it's an excellent choice! It also tastes good. -Peter Adonis04/28/2008
Cory: This actually looks really good, and I think I might try it! A little leary of the buffalo meat though...how is this better than say beef or chicken or pork?04/23/2008
