"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the garlic and onions in the oil until soft, then set aside in a bowl.
Add the mushrooms and 3 Tbsp oil to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, and remove to the bowl.
Cook the ground beef in the skillet until cooked through, then drain.
Return to the skillet with the garlic, onions, mushrooms, oregano, and tomatoes, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 15 minutes, until thickened; remove from heat.
Season with the garlic salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the parsley and cool.
Cook the noodles in lightly salted boiled water until al dente, about 7 minutes, then drain and stir in the butter until melted.
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread the noodles over the sauce.
Top with 2/3s of the cheddar cheese, then the remaining sauce.
Spread over the remaining cheddar and the mozzarella, then sprinkle with the bread crumbs and drizzle with 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
Bake at 325º for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
