WTF is wrong with you??? You just grate cheese over pasta and call it a day? The cheese should be melted into a sauce (I start with a bechamel and then add cheese), then mixed into the macaroni. I prefer to bake it with breadcrumbs on top after for some textural variety.

Yeah, bechamel is great too, but I'm lazy. Cheese only is also fine if you let it sit a bit with top covered. It's not dry if you use soft creamy type of cheese. Baking it? Nah - it'll be too soft and melty for my taste, pasta should have texture.

Baked pasta works better if you start off only parboiling the pasta so it doesn't overcook.

I dont even use macaroni. I use orecchiette. Better sauce holder.
