To prepare, you will typically boil the dried pasta shells in water until they are tender. Once drained, the cheese sauce is made by combining the powder with milk and butter, often heated on the stovetop or in the microwave until smooth. The cooked pasta is then mixed with the prepared cheese sauce, ensuring each shell is coated. The dish is ready to serve immediately after mixing.
