[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We called it "mostaccioli" growing up.  All the midwest Italian families served it at the Catholic church suppers, weddings, and funerals.

Yes, every Midwest party had baked mostaccioli in the 80s/90s. Maybe still - I don’t live there anymore. [/quote]
I grew up in the Midwest and never heard of mostaccioli until I moved to Chicago. Its not a thing everywhere in the Midwest.[/quote]

It is in the actual midwest (Chicago though St. Louis)

Maybe not in the northern plains and north central states like Wisconsin and Michigan.

But it is definitely called that in the actual midwest.[/quote]

Well, ignorning the sheer ignorance of your statement re: actual Midwest (St. Louis is really the South) - I will say that Detroiters had baked mostaccioli in the 80s and 90s. Never really had ziti or penne until I moved East. Have Italian citizenship and travel there frequently and do not think I have ever seen ziti or penne al forno in Italy, but then I wouldn't be ordering it when there are so many hyper-local pasta shapes to try. Not all lasagne has ricotta, and you can do a great baked pasta with bechamel and a bit of grana or parm. [/quote]

Michigan is east of the Mississippi.  It is not midwest.[/quote]
Spoken like a true southerner. You have no idea what you're talking about sweetheart.[/quote]

Take this to another thread!  This one is about baked ziti![/quote]
