To prepare, you will need to boil the shell pasta according to the package directions until it is tender. Once the pasta is cooked, you will drain it. In the same pot, you will add butter and milk, then stir in the cheese powder until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Finally, you will add the drained pasta back to the pot and stir to coat it evenly with the white cheddar sauce. It is ready to serve immediately.
