Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the mostaccioli pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Making Sauce

  1. 2

    Cook Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 4

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 5

    Finish Sauce

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Remove from heat.

Combining and Baking (optional)

  1. 6

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked mostaccioli pasta with the sausage and tomato sauce. Toss until the pasta is evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Baking (optional)

    If desired, transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
