    Title: Deep-Fried Mac & Cheese Shells
    Categories: Pasta, Cheese, Dairy, Breads
    Yield: 20 servings

    2 c Uncooked small pasta shells
    20 Uncooked jumbo pasta shells
    2 tb Butter
    16 oz Velveeta; diced
    2 c Shredded cheddar cheese
    1 c Heavy whipping cream
    3/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese;
    - divided
    1 1/4 c Milk; divided
    2 lg Eggs
    2 c Panko bread crumbs
    1/2 c A-P flour
    Oil for deep-fat frying

    Cook pastas separately according to their package

    directions for al dente; drain. Meanwhile, in a large
    saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add Velveeta,
    cheddar cheese, cream and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Cook
    and stir over low heat until blended. Remove from heat.

    In another large saucepan, combine small pasta shells
    and half the cheese mixture; set aside. For dipping
    sauce, stir 1 cup milk into remaining cheese mixture;
    keep warm.

    In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs with remaining milk. In
    another shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs with remaining
    Parmesan cheese. Place flour in a third shallow bowl.
    Fill each large shell with scant 1/4 cup pasta mixture.
    Dip in flour to coat all sides; shake off excess. Dip in
    egg mixture, then in bread crumb mixture, patting to
    help coating adhere.

    In an electric skillet or a deep fryer, heat oil to
    375oF/190oC. Fry shells, a few at a time, 1-2 minutes on
    each side or until dark golden brown. Drain on paper
    towels. Serve with dipping sauce.
