  • 1 (10 oz) can evaporated milk
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. dijon mustard

Instructions

Step 1

Boil pasta in a medium pot until al dente, then drain in a colander.

Back in the pot, melt 4 Tbs. butter until foamy, then add the flour. Whisk until the mix starts to turn a golden brown, 1-2 minutes.

Slowly pour in the evaporated milk, whisking as it thickens. Then slowly add the regular milk, along with the mustard.

Step 4

Season with a pinch of salt, and keep whisking until the sauce is a little thicker. Add cheese and continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 5

Add the pasta to the sauce, stir to coat, and salt to taste.
