The Moosewood Collective says: We start with three different cheeses to create our version of this classic comfort food. We blend sharp Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses with creamy smooth Neufchatel cheese and then season it with just a hint of mustard to give the finished medley its wonderful full-bodied flavor. Smothered over the best pasta we could find, the result is a meal sure the please everyone in your family.

Abi Jones: Upon taking a bite of Moosewood’s macaroni and cheese I was overcome with the worry that something had gone disastrously wrong with my tastebuds. I may not have the palate of Robert Parker, but I know that foods should taste like. . . something. Of this meal I would expect to taste cheese. Instead, I imagined that pasta-water had somehow been made into a solid form. I would call this meal inocuous, but inocuous things don’t make people want to vomit. How does a company with 11 cookbooks manage to produce a macaroni and cheese that makes me long for Lean Cuisine? I can only hope that my outrage is evident enough to prevent the American public from ever buying another box of this vegetarian, organic excuse for food.
