Pimento Mac and Cheese...I received the magazine yesterday and this is a must make. Does anyone

[curious1]

have the magazine? What is the pasta pictured on the cover? Recipe says gemelli or shells, but I don't think I've seen shells like this. Any ideas? Love the look of the cover and I bought $5 of peppadews (olive bar) today to make this.

I'm giving a BA link, I don't think it's hit Epi yet. Lots of really delicious looking pasta dishes in this issue.

The just like biggish kinda floppy shells to me.

Trader Joes has jarred peppadews... the pasta looks like big elbow macaroni

Curious1 - The pasta looks like Pipe Rigate to me.

Looks like small size shells to me.

 

[curious1]

Gay, that sure looks like it. A new one to me. Thanks guys, I'll have to go with the shells.

 

[curious1]

Sigh, rub it in...I'll check TJ the next trip to MO. Several years ago, I found them at BJ's in

2-jar packs for about $8 for two jars, but they quit carrying them. They're hard to find here.

Looks like shells to me, about the size of a dime.

Here's a picture of what it's supposed to look like

But it looks more like shells to me.

I second Traca. I looks to me that they have used shells.

 

[curious1]

Btw, the magazine cover picture is much clearer, they aren't the usual shells. Pipe rigate for sure.

 

[pat-nocal]

That's my guess too, Gay.

 

[judy-mass]

Looks really yummy! Thanks.

 

[cheezz]

oh, sorry... I always forget who has a TJ and who doesn't!

 

[cheezz]

I think it's the first mac n cheese recipe I've ever seen without milk or cream!

 

[cheezz]

the current issue (March) of BH&G, page 117, has a picture that looks like those noodles

only larger
