Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil for the macaroni. Cook the macaroni until on the firmer side of al dente, about 7 minutes. I like to under do it because it will continue to soften in the casserole. Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot and set aside.
• In the meantime, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, green pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet and saute until softened, about five minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until no pink remains. Drain the fat off the beef mixture, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, garlic, oregano, Italian herbs, and sugar to the beef mixture. Allow it to simmer for five or so minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Carefully pour the beef mixture into the pot with the noodles and stir to combine. Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Italian blend to the mix. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish. Top with the remaining 2 cups of cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is golden and melted. Top with parsley for serving.

EASY JOHNNY MARZETTI RECIPE

Steps:

• Place a wide pot on the stove over medium-high heat. If needed, add a drizzle of neutral oil. Add the beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, for 15 minutes until completely cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the macaroni and cook until 2 minutes under al dente. Scoop out ½ cup of the pasta water and set it aside. Drain the macaroni and set it aside.
• If needed, add more oil to the pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms and cook for 10-15 minutes until they begin to turn golden brown around the edges. Add the garlic and minced chili pepper and cook for 1 minute-season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter into the pot. Once bubbly, add the thyme, paprika, and bell pepper flakes if used. Cook for 1 minute.
• Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir to coat the aromatics in the paste. Cook for 2 minutes until the paste deepens in color.
• Pour in the reserved pasta cooking water and stir to combine until a smooth sauce forms.
• Add the reserved ground beef, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and cooked macaroni to the pot. Add half of the cheddar cheese and half of the Italian cheese mix and stir until evenly combined. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and sugar if needed. Turn off the heat.
• Pour the mixture into a casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheddar and Italian cheese mixture. Bake for 25 minutes until bubbly. If desired, broil the Johnny Marzetti for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese further.
• Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
