I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroni and cheese turned out dry and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.

I'm not a fan of prosciutto, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still very good, but I think it would have been better with the prosciutto.
