  Surprisingly, Usenet provides fewer than a dozen hits for "busghetti" and
"busgetti" combined, none earlier than 2000. I first noticed it about 1995.
I don't have it handy, but I've seen a printed ex. in one of Barbara Park's
extremely popular "Junie B. Jones" books.

Try "pisketti". Google has >1000.
 Vs:
busghetti -Ristorante -Marco: about 181.
