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!

In this recipe it calls for frozen green beans thawed. Does that mean not to cook them?

Frozen green beans are already cooked. So, all you need to do is thaw them since this salad is served chilled. Enjoy!
