     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.
