Step 1

Start by combining 1 ½ cups of whole milk with 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Then add and cook the pasta directly in the milk & water mixture over medium heat while stirring and allowing the liquid to be absorbed by the pasta, about 1 minute before the pasta is done then reduce the heat.

Step 3

Add 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and 4 ounces of grated American cheese then mix together over low heat before seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

Step 4

Once the American cheese has completely melted add 4 ounces of grated extra sharp cheddar, kill the heat entirely and mix it until it is dispersed amongst the pasta then cover and let it rest 5 minutes.

Step 5

After 5 minutes, give it a stir then serve and enjoy, or optionally toast up some bread crumbs in butter to top the mac and cheese with.
