Steps

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