Why do you need to stand there for long periods. You can always boil water
in a kettle (to speed things up a bit) while you get out a pot and the
macaroni. I make the cheese sauce while the pasta is cooking. By the time
the pasta is cooked the sauce is ready to go. Then it gets popped into the
oven.

Exactly. I didn't understand the original question either. The time
spent standing in the kitchen is in standing at the stove to stir the
cheese sauce. For the rest, including boiling the pasta, you can
start it, go away and lie down, and come back. Is there a way to
reduce the cheese sauce to something you can just throw together? No,
not if you want the real stuff. If you don't, use the stuff in the
box. -aem
