By smclane

Ingredients

• 1/8 cup margarine
• 1/8 cup flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 pound orange American cheese
• 1 tsp. yellow mustard
• Salt
• Pepper
• 3 cups rotini pasta (or shells)
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt margarine and add flour. Cook 5 to 7 minutes. Do not brown. Heat milk separately and whisk into the roux. Simmer approximately 10 minutes until mixture thickens. Add American cheese and yellow mustard. Blend well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Do not boil sauce once cheese has been added, or sauce may break.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well and rinse under cold water. Drain well again and mix with sauce. Place in an oven-proof baking dish and sprinkle top with grated cheddar cheese. Broil until cheese melts and top is lightly browned.
