Steps:

  • Grate the zucchini into a colander using the large holes of a box grater. Toss with 1 tablespoon salt, then place in the sink to drain, about 15 minutes. Squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, nutmeg, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste and mix with a wooden spoon to make a paste. Cook, stirring, until the paste puffs slightly, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, then add the thyme, bay leaves and lemon zest and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened slightly, about 25 minutes. Strain into a bowl; discard the herbs.
  • Meanwhile, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and add to the sauce.
  • Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring, until almost tender, about 4 minutes. Add the zucchini mixture to the pasta along with the egg yolks and all but 3 tablespoons of both cheeses; stir to combine, then add the spinach.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with the reserved cheeses. Bake until browned on top and heated through, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

2 pounds medium zucchini
Kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
6 cups whole milk
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 pound medium pasta shells
4 shallots, minced
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
4 ounces parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
4 ounces gruyere cheese, grated (about 1 1/4 cups)
4 ounces baby spinach

PANTRY HAWAIIAN SHELLS AND CHEESE

When my twins were two years old I was working evenings. They loved pasta and cheese and it was easy for my hubby to fix. But by itself it is not too healthy. I devised a series of recipes based on a box (or two) of Shells and Cheese and various cans of food. The shells and cheese called for in these recipes are the kind with the cheese sauce, not the powder kind.

Steps:

  • Prepare noodles as directed but do not add cheese yet. While noodles are cooking open cans and layer in bottom of colander (including the chopped spam).
  • Dump noodles on top of other ingredients in colander. By dumping the hot water on top of the other ingredients it heats those ingredients up. Do not rinse.
  • Dump all back in noodle pan and add cheese sauce mixing well. Serve immediately optionally topping with bacon bits and green onions.

2 (12 ounce) boxes macaroni shells and cheese (the kind with the white cheese sauce tastes best)
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks
1 (12 ounce) can Spam, chopped
bacon bits (optional)
green onion, Chopped (optional)

PANTRY PAELLA STYLE SHELLS AND CHEESE

When my twins were two years old I was working evenings. They loved pasta and cheese and it was easy for my hubby to fix. But by itself it is not too healthy. I devised a series of recipes based on a box (or two) of Shells and Cheese and various cans of food. The shells and cheese called for in these recipes are the kind with the cheese sauce, not the powder kind. Remember this is a mac and cheese dish not real paella made with rice and without cheese.

HOW TO MAKE BOXED MAC AND CHEESE EVEN BETTER - THE …

From thepioneerwoman.com
  • Bake it. Is anything more comforting than baked pasta? For that classic crispy finish, double your boxed recipe and prepare as directed, then pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake or broil until bubbly and golden on top.
  • Spice it up. Ree loves to boost the flavor of her homemade macaroni and cheese with dried mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika, and thyme, and you can do the same with boxed mac and cheese.
  • Make it Tex-Mex. Make a shortcut version of Ree's Tex-Mex mac and cheese by starting with your favorite boxed brand. You can use what's in the box for the noodles and cheese, then follow the rest of her recipe for incorporating poblano chile pepper, fire-roasted corn, and other mix-ins.
  • Make it a shortcut carbonara. Take inspiration from Ree's shells and cheese recipe and top prepared mac and cheese with diced cooked bacon and peas. If you're feeling fancy, you can even turn it into a quick twist on pasta carbonara by adding a fried egg.
  • Thicken the sauce. You can turn that packet of powdered cheese into a creamy, delicious sauce with a few quick additions: whole milk, butter, American cheese, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
