I've been making this mostaccioli dish for years and everyone asks for a copy of the recipe. Easy to make and great leftover.

Provided by BIGDADDYWF

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound hot Italian sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
½ cup finely chopped onion
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ (16 ounce) package mostaccioli pasta
¼ cup creamy Parmesan salad dressing

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook and stir until almost browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Draining really isn't necessary. Add tomato sauce, basil, parsley, and pepper; heat to a mild boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • Remove sauce from heat and stir in salad dressing. Pour desired amount over pasta and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Mostaccioli is a short, tube-shaped pasta that is perfect for this recipe. It holds the sauce well and is easy to eat.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking the pasta until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This will help prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when it is mixed with the sauce.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is the star of the show in this recipe, so it is important to use a good quality sauce. You can either make your own or use a store-bought sauce.
  • Add some fresh basil: Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be simmered for a few minutes, just long enough to heat it through. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Mostaccioli marinara with basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta sauce. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying dish that the whole family will love.
