About Cheese and shells
Cheese and Shells is a classic comfort dish rooted in American cuisine, often recognized as a variant of macaroni and cheese. It features tender pasta shells coated in a creamy cheese sauce, typically made from cheddar or a blend of cheeses, butter, milk, and sometimes flour for thickening. While its rich, indulgent profile makes it a favorite for all ages, its nutritional value depends on preparation methods. When made with whole-grain pasta and reduced-fat cheese, it can offer fiber, protein, and calcium. However, traditional recipes may be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, making moderation key. Adding vegetables like spinach or broccoli can enhance its healthfulness, contributing vitamins and minerals. Cheese and Shells is often enjoyed as a main dish or side, and its comforting, versatile nature makes it a staple in many households.
