A few years ago my friend’s Aunt Lynette, made Mostaccioli for a gathering we were at and my family loved it! I am always on the lookout for a new pasta recipe and to us, Aunt Lynette’s Mostaccioli recipe is pure comfort food.

I asked Lynette for the recipe and I have been making it a few times a year since then. I have tweaked the recipe a bit over the years and here it is for you to share with your family.

Aunt Lynette's Mostaccioli recipe is the definition of comfort food for our family. I usually make it on a cold winter's night.

What is Mostaccioli?

Mostaccioli is a a long tubular pasta. Officially called Penne Lisce, named after the area in Southern Italy where it comes from. Penne are tube-shaped with angled ends cut to resemble a quill or pen point. Unlike Penne, which are ridged, Mostaccioli are smooth in texture. Of course, the day I made this recipe I could only find Mostaccioli Rigati which is ridged. Most Mostaccioli dishes are filled with cheesy goodness.

Aunt Lynette’s Mostaccioli Recipe

Ingredients

  • 16 oz box of Mostaccioli
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 45 oz jar of spaghetti sauce divided
  • 11 oz can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided

Mostaccioli Instructions

  1. Prepare the pasta according to the package directions; rinse and drain
  2. In a skillet, cook and crumble the ground beef until browned; drain
  3. In a large bowl combine the ground beef, 30oz spaghetti sauce, soup, pepper and Italian spices. Stir to combine well.
  4. Now add the cooked pasta and 2 cups of the shredded cheese to the sauce mixture.
  5. Transfer it all to a greased 4 quart baking dish or 13×9 pan
  6. Top with 8oz spaghetti sauce
  7. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Recipe Notes

The extra 7oz of spaghetti sauce may be saved for a future meal.

I usually serve this with a salad and some garlic bread for a nice dinner.

Freezing this Recipe

Now that there are only 2 of us at home, we bake half of the recipe and freeze the other half for future use. To do this I do steps 1-4 of the recipe as directed. Next I place half of the mixture in a 9 x 9″ pan and the other half I put in a large freezer zippy bag. On the bag I write “Mostaccioli and the date. Defrost overnight in bag in regrigerator. Place in greased 9 x 9” pan, sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese and bake in a 350° oven for 40 minutes.

    I have to admit that I’ve never heard of Mostaccioli pasta before. I searched for it because it looked like Penne or Ziti. The recipe is like an easy lasagna. I’d like to give it a try.
