Hi Gracie,
I just saw your "Johnny Marzeti" recipe and was shocked/blown away. That was a staple/regular recipe in the homes and parties where I grew up in Panama (west indian family in Latino country), and I have never heard or seen mention of it since I left Panama more than 40 years ago. I am not a pasta lover nor do I like tomato base sauces, but I think the worcestershire and american cheese ingredients made this a favorite of mine. We used good elbow macaroni, no sugar or parmesan, but I am sure it's about the same. Thanks so much for invoking a great memory and sharing, I must make my "roots food" again now that I see this!
