1 pound cooked roast beef, cut into julienne strips
1 (9-ounce) package frozen green beans, thawed
2 small tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup chopped scallion

What to Do

In a small bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, Parmesan cheese, garlic, mustard, salt, oregano, and black pepper; mix well.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta to desired doneness; drain.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta, roast beef, green beans, tomatoes, and scallion. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture; toss to coat. Chill until ready to serve.

What I want to know is what is mostaccioli? I know what penne is, but not mostaccioli.

Good question! The difference between Mostaccioli and Penne is that th Mostaccioli has a smooth surface and Penne has ridges. Otherwise, the shape is the same. So, if you can not find Mostacciolo, Penne will substitute just fine. Enjoy!
