Macaroni and Cheese - Bone Dry Mac and Cheese?

There's nothing easier than whipping up just like a bowl of stovetop mac and cheese. Some people get the ratios wrong and it's like macaroni and cheese soup, which I don't really care for. You have to pull it off the stove when it's too wet to serve because the pasta is going to continue to absorb sauce. It's a deceptively tough dish to get perfect. In macaroni, I just burped and powered through it. On both ends. I've made bone dry mac and cheeses. There's a very singly bone dry version that makes me sad.
