1 (16 ounce) package mostaccioli or medium tube pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 pound ground venison
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ teaspoon dried basil
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups grated Mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces ziti pasta or 8 ounces elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons margarine
3 medium onions, cut into thin wedges (about 3 cups) or 5 medium leeks, sliced (about 3 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups light cream or 1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups cooked ham, cubed
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package. Drain and rinse.
  • In large saucepan melt margarine. Add onion or leeks and garlic. Cover and cook about 5 mins or till onions are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in flour, thyme, and pepper.
  • Add half and half, light cream, or milk and the chicken broth all at once.
  • Cook and stir til thick and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more.
  • Stir in pasta, ham, and spinach.
  • Spoon mixture into a 3 quart casserole.
  • Cover and bake 30-35 mins at 350 or until heated through. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir gently before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Mostaccioli are a type of short, tube-shaped pasta that is perfect for casseroles. You can also use other types of pasta, such as penne, macaroni, or spaghetti.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy in the casserole.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes the mostaccioli casserole. You can use a simple tomato sauce, or you can doctor it up with some Italian sausage, ground beef, or vegetables.
  • Add plenty of cheese. Cheese is what makes mostaccioli casserole so rich and delicious. You can use a combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Mostaccioli casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta and sauce. With a few simple tips, you can make a mostaccioli casserole that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
