Cook the Pasta to Al Dente
Do not overcook the pasta. This is a general rule that we cannot stress enough. If you're planning to bake your mac and cheese, it's even more important that you don't let it cook beyond al dente. If it's already soft from overboiling, and then you continue to bake it in the sauce, you could end up with mush n' cheese when you're trying to make mac n' cheese. All great pasta dishes have an ever so slight-chew to them, so please pay attention while the noodles are boiling.
