Adam and Joanne's Tips This recipe is basically stove top mac and cheese that I bake just for a few minutes to get the top a bit crunchy. You can serve it straight from the pot, though. Regardless, macaroni and cheese tends to get dry in the refrigerator and congeal into a solid mass of noodle and cheese. This makes it hard to reheat and retain (or regain) the creaminess of the hot-off-the-stove or out of the oven.

Rinse the pasta with water so that the noodles don't stick together. Add the pasta to the cheese sauce and stir well, but gently so that the noodles don't break. Make the cheese sauce by combining a fat (butter), and starch (flour), then whisking in the milk products.
