ITALIAN MIXED SUB (HOT OR COLD)
I used to run a small italian restaurant and this was our most popular sub. Some like it served as a cold sub, and others prefer it baked until the cheese melts and the roll is toasty. Either way, it's delicious.

ITALIAN SUB STOUP - RACHAEL RAY
Say what you will about Rachael Ray (and I do too!) but that woman knows how to put together a heck of a soup. Several of my favorite soup recipes are from her. She makes real food that real people eat and fesses up to and is proud of being "just a cook" and I can admire that. I can't remember where this recipe originally came from a cookbook from the library, foodtv.com, etc., but I've had it for well over a year and I finally tried it tonight 1/22/09. This really does take like a Italian sub sandwich and is very yummy. I added some garlic to mine but the recipe didn't call for it.

SHEET-PAN ITALIAN SUB DINNER
The Italian sub, a deli sandwich that piles some combination of cheese, cured meats and preserved vegetables onto a soft roll, is an Italian-American classic. But toss those fillings onto a sheet pan and hit them with a little heat, and they caramelize and crisp into a complete dinner with loads of character - sweet and spicy, bitter and briny. In this recipe, salami, red onions, pepperoncini, tomatoes, radicchio and chickpeas get tossed with an oregano-garlic vinaigrette before roasting. The radicchio and red onion mellow, the tomatoes sweeten and the salami releases fat and seasonings that add even more flavor and richness. (You can swap in cauliflower florets, cubes of squash or halved red potatoes for the radicchio.) Serve with a plop of ricotta for creaminess (or provolone and Parmesan, for a more traditional take), more vinaigrette and crusty bread for sopping it all up or piling it into a sandwich.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Coarsely chop the garlic, then add the dried oregano and 2 teaspoons salt on top of the garlic and chop together until it forms a paste. Transfer to a bowl, then stir in the vinegar and olive oil.
- Pour half the dressing into a large bowl, then add the chickpeas, salami, red onion, radicchio, tomatoes and pepperoncini. Mix gently to coat in the dressing, trying not to break up the radicchio and red onions, then spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing halfway through, until the red onions and chickpeas are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Season the ricotta with salt and pepper. Serve the roasted mixture with crusty bread, with a dollop of ricotta and extra vinaigrette, or assemble into sandwiches.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BANH MI (VIETNAMESE SUB SANDWICH)
All of the flavors go so well together...Sweet, spicy, nutty and fresh. It's refreshing and satisfying. I also made it easy by preparing it in the oven. You can make this on the stove top in a frying pan if you prefer. Turkey sausage is great too, I didn't list it or the oblong crusty bread rolls because food.com doesn't calculate the calories for them. The sriracha is optional because it is a 6th contest ingredient.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly spray a large baking sheet.
- Lay onion slices and bell pepper slices on the baking sheet and spray with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
- Prick sausages with a fork and place on baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir and turn veggies and sausages at about 10 minutes so they don't burn on the bottom.
- Puree sauce ingredients together. I used an immersion blender in a pyrex measuring cup. A mini food processor would work too.
- Cut a wedge (making a V large enough for the sausage and veggies to fit in) out of each bread roll and spread the interior with basil sauce. You can spread the cut out wedge with sauce too or you can discard it.
- Lay Swiss cheese slices over the sauce.
- Place prepared bread rolls onto a second baking tray and bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted to your liking.
- Remove from oven and place sausage into prepared bread rolls, cover with onions and peppers and top with arugula.
- If you saved the cut out bread wedges you can eat them on the side.

ITALIAN SUB
Steps:
- Slice the bread in half length wise. If you desire toasted bread, spray each side with the cooking spray and cook on a grill pan until golden brown. If you are serving this sandwich hot or if you will be transporting it, spread out a large piece of aluminum foil and place both halves of bread on it. You will need enough excess foil to come up and over the sub. Spread a healthy amount of sub shop mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. On the bottom half, spread the sliced black olives, and a healthy dose of banana peppers. Place the salami, layering if necessary, on the bottom half of the sandwich. Top the salami with all of the cheddar cheese. Place the pepperoni on top of the cheddar cheese. Top the pepperoni with all of the American cheese. Top the American cheese with the sliced red onion. Now give it a healthy douse of Sub Shop sauce. Place the capicolla on top of the sliced onion. Top with all of the provelone cheese. Place the ham on top of the provelone cheese. Place the tomatoes on top of the ham. Give it another generous dousing of sauce. Place the lettuce on top. Place the top on the sandwich. If you are heating the sandwich, close up the foil and place the sandwich on the middle rack of the oven at 350 deg, and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. This helps melt the cheese and heat the sandwich through. Remove from the oven and cut into 4 pieces, and serve with chips, fries, or onion rings. Depending on your appetites, this sandwich can conceivably serve 8 instead of 4. Sub Shop Mayo: Mix all ingredients until blended and refrigerate until ready to use. Sub Shop Sauce: Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl, and whisk until the sauce has emulsified. Refrigerated, this sauce lasts indefinitely.
