I made this recipe with green enchilada sauce instead of the red since I have a toddler who would be eating this. Also, I used montery jack cheese instead of the cheddar since that's what I had on hand. The pasta shells got hard on the bottom when I baked them and I'm not sure why that happened. Definitely a good & easy recipe. I served it with a southwestern garden salad.
