OMG! I thought the term/name Jonny Marzetti was a made up thing. I work in an "Institution" type place, where meals are provided, however, I choose to not partake, and bring in my own meals. A few months ago I asked what "that" was and told "Johnny Marzetti". I had never noticed it in 11 yrs., and was then told all kinds of stories, as to it's origins. Do you know how it came to be named such?
BTW>>>I am very sure that your recipe will be WAY better than theirs. I will try it. And take it in on a "Johny Marzetti" dinner night!


I have lived in Columbus, Ohio all my life - so I was raised on this stuff. It was cheap and quick to make and filled you up. I adore it! It's great comfort food. And according to the Columbus Dispatch this recipe originated at the Marzetti Restaurant located here in Columbus. Most times I'll leave the corn out and sprinkle cheese on it after it comes out of the oven, instead of while it's in the oven.


Gotta try this...Love the warm and fuzzy feeling I got reading the ingredients...I think I'd leave the corn out too and serve it on the side...Great post....:)
