This dish from Chef Ivy is all about adding nutritious veggies into a comforting food without the kids even having to know. All they'll taste are the pasta shells they know and love in a creamy cheddar cheese sauce that sneakily has cauliflower blended in to add vitamins and minerals without compromising the flavor. Served with sweet roasted carrots on the side, this is a well-rounded meal they'll ask for week after week

As Executive Chef at Dos Caminos, Ivy Stark brings extensive culinary experience from her time at top restaurants across the U.S., including renowned establishments like The Sign of the Dove and Cena. Her culinary journey began in childhood in Colorado, influenced by her father's career managing luxury hotels. After studying history at UCLA, Stark attended Peter Kump's culinary school (now the Institute for Culinary Education), leading to her initial role at Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger's acclaimed Border Grill.
Returning to New York, Stark honed her skills under chefs Gary Robins and Andy D'Amico, later becoming Executive Sous Chef at Cena alongside celebrated chef Normand Laprise. She further distinguished herself by opening Ciudad in Los Angeles as chef de cuisine, and later served as beverage director and sommelier at Brasserie 8 ½. Stark continued her ascent in culinary leadership roles at Zocalo, Rosa Mexicano, and Amalia, eventually returning to Dos Caminos as Executive Chef.
