Ingredients
-
3 cups water
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
8 ounces seashell pasta
-
1 cup whole milk
-
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
-
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Optional)
Directions
-
Pour water and salt into a medium pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the water has cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar, Parmesan, pepper, and mustard; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick and creamy. The starch from the pasta thickens the sauce as the pasta cooks.
