Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, diced
2 (12-ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (29-ounce) can tomato puree
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, with juice
1 tablespoon beef base, such as Better Than Bouillon
1 tablespoon chicken base, such as Better Than Bouillon
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons steak seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon dried basil

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet, and bake until bubbling and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with the Parmesan cheese and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pasta: Use a short, tube-shaped pasta like mostaccioli or penne for this recipe. These shapes hold the sauce well and cook evenly.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Cook the pasta until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when baked in the oven.
  • Use a Thick Sauce: The sauce for baked mostaccioli should be thick enough to coat the pasta and hold it together. A tomato sauce made with tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and spices is a good option.
  • Layer the Ingredients: Layer the pasta, sauce, cheese, and any other desired ingredients in a baking dish. This will help to ensure that the dish is evenly cooked and that the flavors are well combined.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the mostaccioli in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Baked mostaccioli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck.
