No-Boil Baked Mac and Cheese

Skip the heavy pots and steamed-up kitchen for June's easy take on classic baked macaroni and cheese. A bath of cheesy sauce replaces boiling water as the cooking medium for dried pasta, resulting in a rich, creamy mac with less work and dishes. Loading the sauce with two types of cheese will make this dish a winner with kids, while ricotta and dry mustard add a touch of sophistication that keeps adults happy too.
