... Or let the oven do the work

If you’re finishing your mac and cheese in the oven, transfer your drained, slightly cooled al dente noodles into a casserole, and before you add the white sauce and cheese, toss in a little bit of butter. This coats the pasta and stops it from absorbing too much liquid as it bakes, keeping just the right amount of texture in your dish. To ensure that you don’t overcook and dry out your dish, preheat the oven beforehand and use an egg timer.
