\"\"<\/a>Recently, my friend John<\/a>, contacted me and a few other local food bloggers about doing a blog post on the Johnny Marzetti dish. \u00a0We each would create our version of the dish and then all post about it on the same day.<\/p>\n

I immediately said I was in! Then I asked what the Johnny Marzetti dish was. \u00a0Not being a Columbus, or even an Ohio native, this was completely new to me.<\/p>\n

John directed me to this link explaining the dish<\/a>. \u00a0I knew exactly what it was once I read the description. \u00a0Where I grew up, it was called Goulash<\/a>. \u00a0Some folks, mostly those from the New England area, refer to it as Chop Suey.<\/p>\n

It’s elbow pasta with ground beef in a tomato sauce. \u00a0We had this all the time growing up and it was one of the few ways I would be willing to eat ground beef. \u00a0I made it for Scott when we started dating and he fell in love with it.<\/p>\n

I recently got back from a long weekend in NYC and the food supplies are in an emergency state here at the HQ. \u00a0I committed to the dish and needed to pull something together. \u00a0The question was, how and with what?<\/p>\n

I decided to keep it simple by upping the flavor factor just a bit by roasting veggies and using a smoked sausage.<\/p>\n
