St. Louis Original Baked Mostaccioli image

If you have been to a wedding in St. Louis you have had Mostaccioli. Some versions are good, some...well let's just say I hope you have avoided the versions that taste like canned tomato soup. This is not one of those, this, in my opinion is a little taste of heaven.

This baked mostaccioli was a disaster! The sauce was too salty and the pasta was undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The flavors were not as rich as I had hoped, and the pasta was a bit mushy. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

I've tried many baked mostaccioli recipes, but this one is by far the best. The ricotta and mozzarella cheeses melted together perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful and tangy. Highly recommend!
