The first is undercooking the pasta so it\u2019s slightly more al dente; once you add the hot, creamy cheese sauce, the pasta will absorb the heat and continue to cook. Second is using way more cheese sauce than you think you need in order to prevent the cooked macaroni from drying out. And third, a combination of oven baking and broiling will result in a bubbling hot pasta dish with a crispy, crunchy topping.<\/p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/81924-stovetop-mac-and-cheese-with-garlic-powder-recipe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stovetop Mac &amp; Cheese With Garlic Powder &amp; White Pepper<\/a><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Food Editor <a href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/shop\/products\/8324-big-little-recipes-emma-laperruque\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emma Laperruque<\/a> promises a recipe for macaroni and cheese that is just as easy as the boxed version with way better flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/73636-melissa-clark-s-stovetop-mac-cheese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melissa Clark\u2019s Stovetop Mac &amp; Cheese<\/a><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>If you prefer a bowl of mac and cheese that forgoes a broiled breadcrumb topping, this ooey-gooey recipe is the one for you.<\/p>\n<h3>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/2534-baking-sheet-macaroni-and-cheese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baking Sheet Macaroni &amp; Cheese<\/a><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>On the other hand, if your favorite part of eating homemade macaroni and cheese is getting to eat all of the crunchy, crispy bits on top, this \u201cwhy-didn\u2019t-I-think-of-that\u201d recipe from Food52 founder <a href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/blog\/23513-daddys-pasta-amanda-hesser-my-family-recipe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amanda Hesser<\/a> means a thin layer of cheesy noodles, all of which get super crispy when baked on a sheet tray.<\/p>\n<h3>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/82560-spinach-mac-and-cheese-recipe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greens Mac &#8216;n&#8217; Cheese From Jamie Oliver<\/a><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Wondering how to get your little ones (or maybe little ones at heart) to eat their greens?
