Mostacciolo - The Italian Classic cookie!
Another Italian Classic cookie - the Mostacciolo. This recipe is a family favorite, developed by another Coia, my sister-in-law, Franca. Right form Abruzzo Italy, this classic cookie is an all time family favorite, and I hope it becomes one of your as well. IN case you are wondering, it is extremely easy to make and only uses a few simple ingredients. Enjoy
Franca’s “Mostacciolo” Recipe – another Italian Classic
Dry Ingredients
• 670 gm of all purpose white flour (i.e., ~ 5 cups)
• 1 TSP baking soda
Wet Ingredients
• 1 large egg + 1 egg yoke
• 2 ½ cups of honey
• ¼ cup molasses
• ½ TSP vanilla
Topping
• Almonds
Process
• Pre-heat oven to 350 Deg. F.
• Put all dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk together – set aside
• In a different bowl, put all wet ingredients, and beat till incorporated
• Add the wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and mix until all flour is absorbed forming a batter (A firm spatula works great for this part, but a wooden spoon will work as well)
• Line a baking sheet or a casserole dish or any oven dish, with a sheet of parchment paper (if you do not have parchment paper, spray sheet/dish with an oil spray (do not use butter, as cookies will burn – parchment works best)
• Pour in your batter and try to get a consistent thickness of about 1 inch all around
• Place almonds on top, going from left to right, in a single row, and space them about ¼ inch apart. If your sheet/dish is wide, you can make two rows of almonds
• Put sheet/dish on top rack in your oven and cook for 35 minutes or 30 minutes if your batter is thinner
• Remove form oven and let cool completely before cutting
• Cut Mostacciolo into “finger size” pieces, about 1” wide by 5 or 6 inches long
• Mostacciolo, should have a soft/firm, almost bread-like consistency, and not be brittle – if it is brittle, it cooked too long, but will still be amazing!!
• Enjoy

Making Mostaccioli for 50 people last minute and on a budget
Feeding a crowd at the last minute.
Easy and affordable mostaccioli, add garlic bread and a fresh salad for a well-rounded and complete meal.
Great for family reunions, weddings, funerals, summer parties, winter parties.. all parties ;)
3 lbs meat - I used 2 lbs ground hamburger and 1 lb ground Italian sausage. Fry in batches and set aside.
3 boxes of pasta - I used penne but shells, macaroni or bowties would work. Boil each box separate until aldente
Sauce:
5 cans or jars of pasta sauce
3-4 cans of crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
Italian season to taste - I used probably 5-6 tsp
dried basil to taste - I used probably 4-5 tsp
garlic to taste - I used 5-6 cloves crushed. I let this sauce simmer for about 90 mins stirring frequently to let the flavors meld.
mozzarella to taste - enough to sprinkle on top for a cheesy finish
Boil noodles, drain, and put in a bowl, add 1/3 sauce, and 1/3 meat, and mix completely. Pour into a greased metal pan. Heat for 15 mins at 350. Sprinkle cheese on top and heat additional 5 mins until cheese is melted.
