The Mac & Cheese that will change your life

8 oz. wheat pasta of your choice (I like shells)
2 cups skim milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp cream cheese (optional, but adds to the creaminess)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dijon mustard

In a small saucepan, add pasta and milk. Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, until pasta is soft, stirring frequently and ensuring milk does not boil.

Turn heat off, add cheese & salt & and stir to combine. Stir in the mustard a little at a time to taste. Cover and let stand for about 5 minutes, then stir again and serve. If not creamy enough, add milk a little at a time, and gently stir.

If you would like to bake it at this point, place in a baking dish and top with a generous sprinkling of cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 10 minutes until cheese has melted.
