Parmesan and marinara together, and you're immediately assuming pasta. We say "ground beef" and you make another assumption: ah, probably meatballs. But no! We're throwing the tomato-y sauce on a moist meatloaf, as well as nutty salty good Parmesan, and baking it all to perfection. This is what happens when you assume! (You get a delicious dinner? We're going to have to rethink our sayings.)
