To prepare, boil the whole wheat pasta shells in water until they are tender. Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot. Add milk and butter to the pot along with the cheese sauce powder.

It's a straightforward process that results in a familiar and comforting meal.
How it differs from similar foods
The use of organic whole wheat pasta distinguishes this product from many other macaroni and cheese options. Whole wheat pasta has a slightly nuttier taste and a firmer texture than pasta made from refined white flour. The white cheddar cheese sauce provides a milder, tangier flavor compared to the sharper taste often found in yellow cheddar varieties.
