Copycat Panera Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients
  • 2 cups medium shell pasta
  • 2 and 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup grated extra sharp white cheddar (4 ounces)
Instructions
  1. Rinse pasta under cold water.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk, pasta, salt, mustard and butter. Stir frequently and bring to a simmer. Reduce to low. Stir frequently (almost continually) for 15-20 minutes while pasta cooks and milk is absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in cheese and cover for 5 minutes. Enjoy immediately (not good reheated -- gets grainy).
