Annie's Shells with Real Aged Cheddar review

I have always been a fan of Mac and Cheese foods, so when I found these Shells and Cheddar in Costco, I was very excited. Like most people who are very health cautious, the first thing I did was look at their ingredients list. I read through the ingredients and was impressed. They had hardly, if any chemicals, everything seemed very natural and they claimed they were organic. I wonder how they were able to maintain being so "natural" since most dry "cook it yourself" foods contains lots of chemicals.

The instructions were very simple: boil water, put in pasta, after a few minutes drain pasta and make sauce using milk/butter then put in pasta.

I think the instructions were very precise,they did a good job providing instructions that work. When I compared the image to my final dish, they looked really similar. (any one here come across cooking instructions that never worked for them?).

ready to serve!

Once I finished combining the sauce with the pasta, I can already smell a strong cheese flavour. This tasted very delicious, almost like... home made (haha). But I'm serious! It was very good, it hardly tasted like anything that was dried and from a box.

As much as I liked it, I think they should do something about making the sauce creamier. I thought it was a little dry.

Summary:

• easy to make
• very good instructions
• great natural/organic ingredients
• great taste
• slight improvement to creaminess (and moist)

I would give this box of Cheddar Shells a 9/10.
