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.
  • Leftover macaroni shell pasta can be portioned into muffin tins and baked until set for fun, kid-friendly cheesy pasta cups perfect for lunchboxes or snacks.
