Shells and Cheese is a comforting pasta dish featuring shell-shaped noodles coated in a rich, creamy cheese sauce. Originating in American cuisine, it has become a favorite for its simplicity and indulgent flavor. Typically made with pasta, milk or cream, butter, and shredded cheese, the dish is often enhanced with spices like mustard powder, paprika, or garlic for extra depth. While Shells and Cheese provide essential nutrients such as calcium and protein from the cheese and milk, it can be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories, especially when prepared with heavy cream or processed cheeses. Healthier versions may use whole-grain pasta, reduced-fat cheese, or plant-based alternatives to lower calorie content and boost fiber. With moderation or by incorporating additional vegetables, Shells and Cheese can remain a satisfying and versatile comfort food.
