Is it tomato paste or tomato sauce? The ingredients say paste, the instructions say sauce. I know they are very different in texture and taste.
It is tomato sauce, I went ahead and changed the recipe to show this.
Can you substitute parmesan cheese slices instead of mozzarella cheese clices?
Parmesan slices won't melt as much as mozzarella so the dish will not be as creamy but I imagine it would work out just fine. You could get shredded Italian cheese too, which would contain parmesan, mozzerella and other cheeses.
Do let us know how it turns out.
