JOHNNY MARZETTI
I don't remember where I found this recipe, but it had been in my recipe box for quite awhile and I finally decided to try it. The original recipe makes 10 to 12 servings, so I kind of eyeballed the ingredients and measured to my liking for approximately 6 servings. I love mushrooms, so next time I make this I'll add another package. I added 2 tbsp of brown sugar because I like a slightly sweet tomato sauce. Feel free to omit it if you like your tomato sauce as is.

A BETTER MARZETTI
Had never heard of Johnny Marzetti until recently stumbling on his recipe in some newspaper website. Actually, research shows Marzetti's Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio was the source of this great comfort food dish back in the 20's (..is it still there?). Have seen ingredients of several versions of this dish here, but none with all these great ingredients. This is an ultimate comfort food that is even better at the second and third sitting. I think that the sausage and Italian cheese blend is key to success of this rendition. Dish is great with a nice green salad.

Steps:
- Hard boil the eggs. We start them in cold water, cover the pan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat and let set for 15 minutes. Then cool them down with ice water and peel. Cut lengthwise and put the yolks in a bowl and the whites on a tray (I like to use pie plates, because they can be covered with plastic wrap and not smash the eggs). Mash up the yolks with a fork or pastry blender. Stir in the Marzetti's Coleslaw Dressing until you have the desired consistency. Taste it -- you might want to add a bit of salt and pepper. Fill the egg white with the mixture and sprinkle with paprika. Refrigerate until serving time.
- TIP #1: Add about 1 tablespoon of salt to the cold water, and the eggs will be a lot easier to peel.
- TIP #2: Put the filling mixture into a ziploc bag. Cut off a corner and simply squeeze the filling into the egg whites.

I found this on an Illinois' newspaper website and the story was that this recipe eminated from Johnny Marzetti's diner, wherever that was, but now defunct. This is a great tasting dish, easy to fix and feeds the masses. Can easily be cut in half for smaller crowds.

This is how my mom made it back in the 60's and 70's when my sister and I were kids. I used to love this stuff! *Since Campbell's has changed their tomato soup so much, I have had to add a Tbl. of heavy cream to the recipe. (I do wish they'd make it like they used to. It was so much more creamy.) But the addition of the heavy...

MANLY MARZETTI
Tired of the nondescript? The Italian sausage and pepper jack cheese wake up the classic Johnny Marzetti casserole. This has zing, but it is not super spicy. Use your ground venison, no one will ever know it's not regular ground beef. Just what the Hunter ordered: a manly casserole.

Steps:
- Brown ground beef, drain, then put in large pot. Chop peppers, onions, celery, olives and mushrooms. Add the seasoning and garlic powder, put in the pot with the drained meat. Mix those ingredients well. Add sauces and paste then mix again. Put on medium low fire. In another pot, cook noodles -- when done, add them to the mixture and stir very well. Place mixture in long oblong pan in layers. On each layer, place shredded cheese but leave enough for the top. Place about 4 teaspoons of butter on the top, and put into the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes. Don't worry about leftovers - place portions into ziplock freezer bags (preferable over tinfoil). It freezes well and taste twice as good the next time.
JOHNNY MARZETTI CASSEROLE
Kids love this buffet-ready casserole dish. My mother-in-law used to make a simpler version of this for my husband when he was growing up. This version pushes the flavor profile a bit. I prefer to have this dish sit overnight before baking as the flavors improve and the pasta absorbs some of the sauce so the consistency is just right.
