To prepare, you will typically boil the pasta shells in water until they are tender. While the pasta cooks, you can prepare the cheese sauce. This usually involves heating milk and butter in a saucepan and then whisking in the cheese sauce powder until it is smooth and thickened. Once the pasta is drained, you combine it with the prepared cheese sauce. Stir everything together until the shells are evenly coated in the creamy sauce. The dish is then ready to serve.
