Steps
- Cook pasta in salted water until just tender. Drain.
- In the same pot melt butter over medium, whisk in flour, and cook 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in milk and cook, stirring, until it thickens slightly, 4–5 minutes.
- Off heat, stir in mustard, salt and cheese until smooth.
- Fold in the pasta. Loosen with a splash of milk if needed.
Tip: Shred the cheese yourself — pre-shredded can make the sauce grainy.
