Velveeta Shells & Cheese Original is a convenient pasta meal featuring shell-shaped pasta and a signature creamy cheese sauce that comes ready to heat. Unlike powdered cheese mixes, this product uses a specially prepared liquid cheese sauce that creates a smooth, consistent texture when prepared. The family-sized portions provide a good source of calcium and protein, while offering a quick-cooking option for a complete pasta dinner.
