Ingredients
  • 24 dried jumbo shell macaroni
  • 8 ounces dried tiny shell macaroni (2 cups)
  • 2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded (8 oz.)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 oz.)
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half or light cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper or pepper
  • 1 24 ounce jarvodka sauce or your favorite tomato pasta sauce
  • 4 ounces brick cheese or mozzarella cheese, shredded (1 cup)
