I've been experimenting with different recipes, but sometimes my mac and cheese turns out a bit dry. Does anyone have secrets or techniques for achieving that velvety, creamy texture? Can't wait to hear your suggestions!

I find that adding a bit of cream cheese and a splash of milk helps make it extra creamy. Also, stirring in some freshly grated cheese right at the end gives it a nice, smooth finish.

Absolutely! For ultra-creamy mac and cheese, try these tricks: use a roux (cooked butter and flour), shred your own cheese for meltability, and reserve some pasta water to add back in for extra sauciness.

I think adding a bit of cream cheese or evaporated milk can help keep it creamy, though!
