Mostaccioli With Meat Sauce image

This recipe was given to me over 30 years ago from an Italian friend. This is a really nice pasta dish served with a salad, garlic bread, and wine. When I make this, I usually only cook up 8 ounces of pasta, and I do not mix up the meat sauce and pasta together unless I am serving a crowd. For 2-4 people I spoon the sauce over...

I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but I love it in this mostaccioli. It adds a creamy richness that is perfect with the meat sauce.

The mostaccioli was good, but it was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time I make it.

This mostaccioli recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time I make it.
