## Description

About the Brand Annie's Homegrown is a good company with good people that makes good food and does good stuff. From the beginning, Annie impressed upon us the necessity of operating responsibly by giving back to the community. Because if you don't take care of the folks who are taking care of you, everything gets ugly. And anyone who thinks an ugly planet is a healthy planet is a wackadoo. Annie's motto: Eat Responsibly. Act Responsibly. Annie's Homegrown has stayed committed to its goals even as the company has expanded. With distribution in all 50 states, it's become the second-largest brand of macaroni and cheese in the U.S. And in their own words: "We know we're the first most delicious." History of Annie's Homegrown After creating Smartfood in 1982, one of the fastest-selling snack food products in U.S. history, Annie Withey co-founded Annie's Homegrown in 1989 with the idea of making a great-tasting, all-natural macaroni and cheese. In the end, though, she did a lot more than that. In 1998, Annie's Homegrown was the first to develop and introduce three amazing kinds of organic macaroni and cheese. At the end of 2001, Annie's introduced a line of certified organic pasta, dressed up in a lovely bright purple box. And in 2005, Annie's introduced three flavors of Deluxe Mac and Cheese, four awesome flavors of organic crackers that they call Cheddar Bunnies, and three flavors of graham crackers called Bunny Grahams, made with organic ingredients. Annie continues to be the inspirational leader of Annie's. She works from her home in Connecticut, answering some consumer letters and providing input on new product and marketing ideas. She remains the company's corporate conscience. Product Description Bring creamy, cheesy goodness to your table with Annie's Shells and Real Aged Cheddar. Made with organic pasta shells and real cheese, this pasta and cheese offers a delicious dinner, lunch, or snack addition for both kids and adults. Just follow the simple steps on the package to create yum that's ready in about 10 minutes. Serve as a side dish or pair with favorites like chicken nuggets. About two and a half servings per container. Annie's makes products in over 20 family-friendly categories, from fruit flavored snacks and cereal to mac and cheese. For busy bunnies and families on the go, we help make life a little easier and more delicious by spreading goodness through tasty foods and kindness to the planet. Contains Annie's Shells and Real Aged Cheddar, Made with Organic Pasta and Real Cheese, 6 oz; shelf-stable dried mix. From the Manufacturer Annie's Shells & Real Aged Wisconsin Cheddar is a natural alternative to all those chemically orange colored cheeses out there. Annie's has taken its original Shells & White Cheddar and added a little color to it naturally, with a plant extract called annatto. Annie's Cheddar Macaroni & cheese is a great alternative for kids who need to have that "orange" cheese on their macaroni and for parents who want to eat a natural, healthily alternative to chemically enhanced macaroni and cheese. Annato is a natural plant extract that has been popular in tropical American cultures for generations. The annatto tree grows 20 or 30 feet in height, and when its seeds are stirred in water, they produce orange annatto dye, also called achiote, used to color foods such as cheese, butter and mustard. Many cultures use achiote oils and pastes, with their mild flavor and intense color, on meat, fish, and rice. By choosing annatto coloring in its delicious aged Wisconsin cheddar, Annie's offers you the same great taste, no harsh chemicals, and a little more color in your life.

Review: Annie knows how to make macaroni & cheese! - Absolutely love Annie's macaroni and cheese. Its amazing how fast this stuff has taken over the market... it tastes 10x better than her competitors! This version has a very cheesy cheddary taste and goes perfect with some kielbasa, green peas, carrots, green beans, and corn. Easy recipe for the whole family, here ya go! -- 1. Bring water to boil on HIGH, throw in the noodles, and turn the heat down to MEDIUM-HIGH (less chance it will over-boil) 2. While the noodles are boiling, cut up some kielbasa into small round shapes and fry it in a pan with just a little bit of oil (add some salt, pepper, turmeric, and thyme) for 5-7 minutes. 3. Add some frozen carrots and green beans, cook for another 3-5 minutes. 4. Add some frozen green peas and corn and cook for another 3-5 minutes. 5. By now you should have finished cooking the noodles, so remove them from the heat and strain them into the sink - don't do anything else to the noodles (you want the noodles to sit there in the sink and dry for a bit to get some stickiness to them... the stickier they are, the better the sauce will stick to the noodles -- don't add oil!!) 6. In the same pot you boiled the noodles, add the cheese powder and the butter... stir it up for a little bit first, so that it clumps together, then add the milk and stir until creamy (doing the cheese and butter first ensures that it will blend easier without clumps). 7. Then pour your noodles into the pot and stir to get them coated in the cheese. 8. Lastly pour your noodles into the pan to mix with the meat and veggies. 9. Serve with some homemade garlic toast (just spread some butter on a piece of bread, put a little garlic powder on top, and toast in the oven on BROIL for a couple minutes). 10. EAT!! Maaaaan, its good aint it?!
Review: Annie's Take on a Classic Flavorite - The only thing different is the quality and taste! For the most part Annie's Shells and Real Aged Cheddar cooks up like any other Mac N' Cheese out there. The difference is in the quality of the ingredients and the final flavor. We purchase Annie's products because of what they don't have in them. We feel that the ingredients are nutritionally better for what we are looking for in our meals. The cook time, size, color, added ingredients are all what is to be expected. There are no suprises so the greta taste is already in the box, not something that you add in at home. We placed a one-dozen box order and each cheddar pasta kit has cooked up fresh and delicious.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I have to cook?**
A: No,you can have someone else cook it.

**Q: How does it compare to PastaRoni shells and white cheddar?**
A: I have never eaten PastaRoni, but compared to Kraft, Annie's tastes far better!  The cheddar flavor shines in this mac & cheese!  :)

**Q: Anyone buy and receive this as of recently? Wanting to know if these are pre “yummier than ever” aka worst decision Annie’s ever made.**
A: I’ve bought the pink bunny shapes, as of a month ago, but it doesn’t say yummier than ever. I’ve only seen that on the regular blue box. 

This still seems the same and great to my kids.

**Q: Could I freeze left over prepared pasta?**
A: Absolutely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff
*by R***K on June 13, 2026*

Great stuff....much better than Kraft Mac and Cheese which has been a staple here for years...cleaning my pantry of items of questionable origin and/or manufacturing principles...starting to read the ingredients labels...some of the stuff they put in you can't even pronounce...
