Ingredients

  • 0.3 teaspoon ground pepper black
  • cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • ounces seashell pasta 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • cups water 
  • cup milk whole

Equipment

  • pot

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes.
  3. 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.
