JOHNNY MARZETTI



Johnny Marzetti image

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.

JOHNNY MARZETTI CASSEROLE



Johnny Marzetti Casserole image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces rotini pasta
1 pound ground beef
½ pound bulk mild Italian sausage

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes and tomato sauce. Allow to cool five minutes.

Continue baking until Cheddar cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
