Baked Mostaccioli Recipes

Pasta dishes are my main comfort food, so I was motivated to create a low calorie dish -- this one does it for me! Very quick & easy to put together and quite delish.

Classic Italian dish on the lighter side.

Instead of mostaccioli pasta, I substituted penne pasta for it. as it was more readily available as whole grain. This is a complete meal, it does not need salad as a companion. Baked Mostaccioli is far easier to make than lasagna, because the noodles are easier to cook and you don't need to layer the ingredients.

I would not call this health food! It does not fit into the "healthy" guidelines of the Mediterranean Diet as it is high in fat and sodium, but yes, it is Italian. Save it for a special occasion.
