About


I posted this recipe well over a year ago, but I thought it certainly deserved another post, especially a post about tradition.
Three Cheese Baked Mostaccioli is a recipe that was always a specialty of my sister-in-law Bobbie. I'm so fortunate to have gotten her recipe years ago. We lost our beloved Bobbie to breast cancer over 8 years ago - gosh, I can't believe it's been that long - but we think of Aunt Bobbie EVERY time we eat her WONDERFUL Mostacciloi.
This dish is becoming a Christmas tradition in our family. You can make this dish in advance, refrigerate, then cook before serving!! It's a real crowd pleaser with friends and family, and serves a lot!
So grab your apron and lets get started - it's really very easy!!
