Here's a recipe for a dish that we usually have at our annual little McKay family Summer picnic. This goes over so well that if you were there you better not skip it and hope to get some the second time around else you won't find any. 
BAKED MOSTACCIOLI WITH SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
4 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
16 ounces MUELLER'S ridged mostaccioli (riggatoni is an acceptable substitute) cooked 8 minutes, drained
16 ounces (4 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
In large skillet, stirring frequently, brown sausage with pepper and onion over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in spaghetti sauce and water. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Spread 1 cup sauce in bottom of 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Top with half the mostaccioli, 2 cups mozzarella and the Parmesan. Spread on 2 more cups sauce. Then layer remaining mostaccioli, sauce and mozzarella. Bake in 350 degree Fahrenheit oven 30 minutes or until heated. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Enjoy!!
