INGREDIENTS

16 oz pasta shells
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 oz white American cheese ; chopped or torn into pieces
8 oz extra sharp white Vermont cheddar ; shredded
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp hot sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large stockpot, cook pasta according to package directions and drain well.

Melt the butter in a 4-quart sauce pan over medium heat. When the butter has melted and has started to bubble, whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes whisking constantly.

Whisk in the milk one cup at a time, whisking out lumps completely.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook milk mixture, whisking frequently, until it thickens and bubbles, about 8 minutes.

Remove pan from the heat and stir in the cheeses by the handful, allowing all of the cheese to melt into the sauce before adding more.

Stir in the mustard, salt, and hot sauce.

Stir in the pasta and cook 1-2 minutes more, until heated thoroughly..
