I mean seriously, who doesn't love baked mostaccioli? But honestly, sometimes you just don't have the time for it to be baked to amazingness. So here's an another option to have some wonderful mostaccioli for half the time--stove top mostaccioli!

Of course, with all pasta dishes, the first step should be boiling the noodles in salted water to al dente and this is no exception. You can use penne noodles for this recipe. Once noodles are boiled rinse with water and I always like to add garlic salt, pepper, parsley and some parmesan cheese to my cooked noodles while they're still hot.

While the noodles are boiling, you can begin to cook the ground beef-- of course if you want to be healthy you can substitute the ground beef for ground turkey. So brown the ground beef and pour out excess fat before adding tomato sauce. Once you add the tomato sauce, add the noodles and allow to cook on the stove for about 10 minutes so everything can gel well. Add a little more parmesan to top off before serving!
