Conchigli in cheesy garlic sauce
Deliciously comforting cheesy sauce infused with garlic makes for a perfect midweek dinner. The best thing about this dish is that it will take you just half an hour to prepare.
I have used Conchigli (shell shaped pasta), but you can use any pasta that you have. I have added bell peppers, mushroom and chicken. If you prefer a vegetarian version, you could substitute the chicken with tofu or paneer and the chicken stock with vegetable stock.
