Ingredients

7 ounces (3 cups) uncooked dried pasta shells

1 pint (2 cups) Half & Half OR Whole Milk

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 ounces (2 cups) Jalapeño Jack Cheese, shredded

1/3 cup crushed nacho-flavored tortilla chips

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) baking dish with no-stick cooking spray.

Cook pasta shells according to package directions. Drain.

Heat half & half in 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until half & half just comes to a boil (3 to 4 minutes). Add cream cheese, stirring until mixture is smooth and thickened (2 to 3 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in green chiles and salt. Add cooked pasta; toss to coat.

Spread half of pasta mixture evenly into bottom of prepared baking dish; top with half jalapeño jack cheese. Repeat layer once with remaining ingredients.

Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips over top of casserole. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and topping is golden brown.
