When our friend served us this entree, I asked her for the recipe right away. It was so good, I thought I would share it with other. I cut the recipe down for a meal or two, but it can easily be doubled or tripled. It's great served as either a side dish or a main course.

I used 2 cups whole wheat shells, and used 3 cups shredded cheese instead of velveeta. I topped it off with crumbled Cheez-its.

Mmmmm-tastes like comfort food. I substituted whole wheat rotini for the shells, omitted the salt and the buttered crumbs. I used 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese instead of the Velveeta, which is too salty for my taste. I sprinkled cheddar cheese on the top.

I love this recipe! The flavor is delicious and the texture makes it a perfect comfort food. We use cheddar instead of Velveeta and it still turns out really well.
