Recipe for "Conchitas" Aka Macaroni Shells....A favorite Honey Bear dish.... :-)

In a Skillet the macaroni shells are first braised until golden brown in a small amount of cooking oil,

over medium heat....

Macaroni shells should be golden in color like above photo...

Turn off heat and slowly add one can of stewed chopped tomatoes, will make a sizzling sound, and be steaming, slowly add water (or chicken broth) to shells in skillet to about a few inches from the top edge, add some garlic, cumin, and onion to taste....turn heat back on and bring to a rolling boil....

Be careful that all liquid does not completely boil down...want to leave a little liquid so will be juicy...

Put the cooked macaroni shells on plate; add some grated cheddar cheese if like...I love them with cheese...or just enjoy the "Conchitas" without the cheese...that's the way my Honey Bear likes them!

The "Conchitas" go well with a side of baked chicken, and a green salad!

Enjoy!!!  Arita :-)

Note: Conchitas means  little shells is in spanish....
