Well, I know they make pre-cooked dried lasagna noodles but I can't say
I've ever seen the same in macaroni. I can't see that it would save
much time. Janet already said she cooks the pasta a bit before
assembling. I cook the pasta while I'm assembling the other igredients,
too.

It might be an interesting experiment. Not one I care to try. I really
don't want to wind up with crunchy macaroni.
