It's hands down, much better than the wimpy stuff I was raised on. Mom
used white pasta and sharp cheddar, but not as much cheese as I use. I
made my version (but with her white pasta) one time when we were
visiting. I think she enjoyed the kick that the mustard and extra cheese
gave it.

That does have some possibilities. Add a good marinara sauce to the
noodles and make sure you have sufficient cheese; it needs more than
just a light dusting.
