Mostaccioli are a traditional Calabrese honey biscotti that have always held a special place for me. They pair perfectly with an espresso and are usually saved for Christmas, but my nonna made them any time of year because she knew they were my favourite. Simple ingredients, deep tradition, and a lot of love baked into every batch.

My mother used to make these. I never liked them. Then, last year for some reason I decided to try to make them in her honour. They came out fantastic.
If you go further south it’s a totally different cookie
These are not mostaccioli.
Mostaccioli is a type of pasta. I didn’t know it was also a biscotto!
