How to make it

  1. Cook the pasta in salted water, a minute less than the packet says, and drain it.
  2. Melt the butter in the pot, stir in the flour, cook for a minute, add the milk bit by bit and bring to the boil until the sauce thickens.
  3. Off the heat, stir in the Cheddar and Parmesan until melted. Season with mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  4. Fold in the pasta and eat straight away.

One tip

Never boil the cheese or the sauce turns grainy. Off the heat, then stir it in.
