To prepare, you will typically boil the pasta shells according to the package directions until they are tender. While the pasta cooks, you can prepare the cheese sauce, which often involves melting butter and whisking in milk and the included cheese powder. Once the pasta is drained, combine it with the prepared cheese sauce, stirring until the shells are evenly coated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Serve hot for an immediate and satisfying meal.
