  5. Remove the cookies from the oven, let them cool, and immerse them in a pan where more vino cotto has been placed, diluted with a little water.
  6. Boil for about five minutes, place the mostaccioli on a serving dish, cover them with coarsely chopped almonds and walnuts and with more orange peel cut into small pieces.
