Here's the recipe for my family's Sausage & Mostaccioli...
1 1/2 lb. bulk pork sausage or ground beef (we used only 1 lb because our cow was butchered that way)
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped green pepper (optional)
1/4 tsp garlic salt
16 oz. can diced tomatoes
16 oz. can tomato paste
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
8 oz. cooked mostaccioli noodles (we used a bit more than this, I think the box was 12 oz)
6 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
Cook sausage, onion and green pepper until meat is browned and vegetables are tender. Add meat mixture to the cooked pasta noodles along with the tomatoes, tomato paste, 1/2 cup water, salt, pepper and oregano. I mix this all in a big stock pot where I've already cooked the noodles (less dishes)! Stir in half of the cheese and transfer to a 9x13" casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Add cheese on top and broil or bake until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
