Who is Johnny Marzetti?

 


Another old post from the Kinja Archive. 12/28/15.

- I have to cook for the bowl game tomorrow, and since I already wanted to make a batch of tomato sauce for the freezer, I am going to use some for a poor man’s lasagna version of Johnny Marzetti. Basically a casserole with pasta, ground meat, and tomato sauce. And cheese.

- I use pasta shells and layer that in a casserole dish with the meat sauce and cheese. A ricotta/parmesan/parsley mixture like you would use in a lasagna. And a little bit of mozzarella. Then you bake it at 350 for about 30 minutes.

- There are many different versions and ways to make this kind of casserole. Good for leftovers. I’ve done one with smoked chicken I needed to use.
