Granny's Famous Marsetti image

I have no idea where this recipe originally came from. It's one of those strange concoctions that you try to describe to people and, well, they just never understand... until they TASTE it. This is a family recipe my great grandmother - aka Granny - used to make for my cousins and me. It is the ultimate comfort food and I rarely make it because I can't stop eating it!
