Quick Shells and Cheese

My daughter Brooke and I love macaroni and cheese. I prefer the homemade versions and she will on occasion eat the boxed variety. She likes the mini pasta shells and when I found this recipe from one of my favourite authors Ree Drummond I had to try it. This one is very quick and easy with lots of cheesy sauce. Pure and simple comfort food.
