America loves mac and cheese. But too much of America is content to eat reconstituted powdered cheese sauce poured over boiled elbow macaroni.

That’s the equivalent of a glass of Tang instead of fresh-squeezed orange juice.

If your palate demands a gourmet version of mac and cheese, Cucina Fresca is ready to fill your freezer with four different varieties:

Sharp Cheddar Mac and Cheese, made with two-year aged white Cheddar

Smoked Gruyère Mac and Cheese, made with a blend of aged Gruyère, Swiss and Fontina, and a touch of lightly smoked Spanish paprika

Tangy Gorgonzola Mac and Cheese, a mellow Gorgonzola cheese blended a tangy blue cheese and Fontina

Creamy Fontina Mac and Cheese, a blend of Fontina, aged Asiago and imported Parmesan cheeses

You can bake the frozen entrées for 30 minutes or microwave them for 10 minutes. At the end, you’ve got great comfort food.

Read the full review, and start stocking the freezer.

It includes suggested toppings and mix-ins to make your mac and cheese even more gourmet.
