This is one of my favorite fast go to dinners. Its almost as good as real baked mostaccioli, without the baked on cheese on the casserole dish. And its on the table so much faster. Oh, and its really cheap too!
You’ll need spaghetti sauce. I make a batch of spaghetti sauce every couple weeks on a slower night so I have it on hand when I know its going to be a busy day tomorrow. And its always better the next day you know… You can use jarred sauce, but homemade is always better.
You’ll also need a box of mostaccioli noodles (I like rigati, with lines – holds the sauce better) (but recently I haven’t been able to find mostacioli noodled and have used Penne) and some finely grated Mozzeralla cheese.
Cook mostaccioli noodles per box instructions. Heat up sauce.
Put noodles on a plate.
Top with hot spaghetti sauce.
Top with grated cheese.
Let it sit for a minute so the cheese gets melty.
Serve with tossed salad, Italian bread, and wine.
Relax and enjoy!
