Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra creaminess, stir a spoonful of cream cheese or mascarpone into the cheese sauce before combining with the pasta shells.
- To add a subtle crunch and flavor contrast, sprinkle the assembled pasta with a mixture of toasted breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan, then broil for 2-3 minutes until golden.
- If you want to incorporate vegetables for added nutrition, finely chop steamed broccoli, spinach, or roasted red peppers and mix them into the cheese sauce before adding the pasta.
