To prepare, you will typically boil the pasta shells according to package directions until they are tender. After draining the water, you will add butter and milk to the pot, then stir in the cheese sauce powder. The heat from the pasta and the added liquids will help to create a smooth, creamy sauce that coats the shells. Stir everything together until well combined and the shells are evenly coated with the cheese sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other macaroni and cheese products, this version uses shell-shaped pasta, which holds sauce differently than elbow macaroni. The cheddar cheese flavoring is designed to provide a distinct, sharp cheese taste that is characteristic of this specific brand's blend.
