johnny marzetti, caroline's way
(1 rating)
The original Johnny Marzetti dish originated in Columbus, Ohio, at the Marzetti restaurant in the 1920's when the owner named it after his brother. There are many versions of the recipe and this one is that my mother and grandmother made often in the 1950's. If you like, its easy to make ahead and freeze. Just pop in oven when you need it. Leftovers are almost better than the first serving..
