Oven-Baked Mostaccioli

I can't believe it's taken me this long to post a good recipe for mostaccioli!  This one is layered like lasagna in all the good ways, but takes a lot less time and effort than lasagna with the same mouth-watering effects later. The original recipe was taken from Donna S. over at Food.Com but I've made a couple small changes to give it some extra flavor.  Makes a 9x13inch pan.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey (or beef)
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 32oz jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 8oz can tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 16oz mostaccioli pasta, cooked, drained and tossed with
• 2 tsp veggie oil
• 16oz mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp garlic salt
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• Pinch of fennel (optional)
• 1/4 tsp italian seasoning
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
2. Cook turkey (or beef) with onion until brown
3. Stir in spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and water.  Sauce will be watery! This is okay!
4. Add in your seasonings (garlic salt, garlic powder, italian seasoning, fennel, salt & pepper).
5. Bring your sauce to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Pour in 1 1/2 cups meat sauce in 9x13 inch baking dish
7. Add in half the pasta as a layer
8. Layer 2 cups mozzarella then all parmesan cheese
9. Layer 2 cups sauce, then remaining pasta, then all but 1/2 cup of mozzarella.
10. Top with remaining sauce
11. Add just a few more pinches of mozzarella for the finishing touch
12. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until hot and bubbly
