ParticipantMy dexh has transitioned to wi, but he took his time at it traveling around. he stopped in at alexander the great in mi expecting the typical greek menu…far from it… after perusing the menu and being disappointed, he settled on the ‘baked mostaccioli’ remembering how much he enjoyed it years ago when i would prepare it.
he reported in that is was a close second to my recipe (hope his memory was good!
lol!) so i thought that i’d offer it up here as a copycat recipe;-d
