To prepare, you will typically boil the pasta shells according to package directions until they are tender. While the pasta cooks, you will usually prepare the cheese sauce. This often involves combining the cheese sauce mix with milk and butter in a saucepan and heating it until smooth and melted. Once the pasta is drained, you combine it with the warm cheese sauce, stirring until all the shells are well coated. The dish is then ready to serve.
How it differs from similar foods
This white cheddar version offers a sharper, tangier cheese flavor compared to more traditional yellow cheddar mac and cheese. The shell shape of the pasta also holds the creamy sauce effectively, providing a different texture experience than elbow macaroni.
