Easy Mostaccioli Pasta Salad image

I discovered this tasty mostaccioli pasta salad in a church cookbook over 15 years ago, then the dog ate the cookbook! The recipe was lost for over a decade until it was recovered through the miracle of crowdsourcing. I'm excited to share it with everyone so this won't happen again! Enjoy! Best when made the day before serving.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package mostaccioli pasta
1 cup Italian-style salad dressing
1 cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon celery seed
¼ teaspoon mustard seed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and put into a large bowl.
