"Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. Pasta shells are filled with cheeses and full of flavor. This takes your everyday macaroni and cheese to a whole new level. Crispy bacon lends a salty crunch. Reynolds Wrap over the casserole keeps the shells tender while the cheeses melt and ooze into the pockets of the pasta."
