Analyzing cooking steps...
Using sharp cheddar cheese is recommended for a more pronounced cheese flavor.
Shredding your own cheese from a block results in a smoother, meltier sauce compared to pre-shredded cheese, which often contains anti-caking agents.
Cooking the pasta separately from the sauce is preferred to prevent the sauce from becoming overly starchy.
