Valerie's Review
This recipe is SO easy. You can easily adjust it to your own preferences as well - adding more or less spice, etc. You can also use packaged (or homemade) mac n cheese in place of the plain pasta shells for a cheesier meal. We think this recipe would qualify as comfort food.

This is a good recipe. The only problem with it is that the macaroni becomes too soft. This recipe is better if made on the stove with a shorter cooking time. Then add the cooked macaroni and heat through. I will make this recipe again using the new cooking directions.
