- 1t salt
- 1/2 – 1t ground mustard
- 1/2 – 1t garlic powder
- 3c water

Melt butter in a pot, add flour – cook for ~1-2m (making a roux)
Add 1c water and the spices, stir to mix well.
Add the rest of the water, the milk, and the pasta
Cook at low simmer until the pasta is the right texture (~10-15m)
(Don’t boil it, but if it does, add a splash more milk to replace what boiled off)
Remove from heat, add the cheeses, stir well to melt them
Let sit for about 1-2m, stir again, and serve
When reheating, add a splash of milk.
