Mapping reads to mitochondrial genome

I need to map sequencing reads to the Drosophila mitochondrial genome. Does anyone know if I can accomplish this using the STAR aligner? Can the aligner handle circular reference genomes or do I need to specify any options or do any other steps to be able to do this? Does anyone know what is the best method to map reads to a circular reference genome?

Thank you for your help!
