Mostaccioli Pasta is a hollow tube pasta very similar to penne.
It is cut about 2 inches (5 cm) long, though sometimes about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) long.
It comes with either smooth or ridged sides. The ends are “French cut” on a slant.
It can be used for baking, or for salads.

Language Notes
Mostaccioli means “Small Mustaches” (though doesn’t it actually look much like its name sake.)
