I had this as a side recently and it isn't macaroni at all, but something else like a penne rigate (but probably not, I can never keep straight all the different pasta shapes and names). It is incredibly rich and flavourful, but for my wife it was too much for a side and the oiliness of the cheese and the rich cream sauce was a little overwhelming for her. She was expecting something a little less rich as a side, to balance out the full flavours of the main courses. So it is a taste experience on its own, as so many things are at Zingermans, and the $7.50 price of the small sidedish is no doubt justified by the wonderful ingredients and attention to the preparation. But as a side, it is very rich and can be a little too much, depending on your tastes. I can understand the confusion a bit.
