Apparently there is a mystery concerning the identity of Johnny Marzetti. Who is he, where did the recipe come from and why is it named after him? Interesting read on the article since I wondered about the recipe name when I first found it.
The recipe is similar to my pasta concoctions that change regularly with my mood. Lazy day I make with jarred spaghetti sauce, other times I make my own sauce and let it cook for hours. Most of the time I use italian sausage, sometimes brown some ground beef with the sausage and I love it with ziti. Also love it with angel hair pasta. How about some chunky sliced mushrooms on occasion? When I plate it (sometimes), the pasta is topped with ricotta cheese, then the sauce. Delicious! But then again, I can't call it a Johnny Marzetti dish because of all the variations.
