How to make white cheddar shells and cheese:

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter until melted.

Slowly whisk in flour until blended, and then slowly add in the milk. Bring mixture to a boil and continue stirring until it starts to thicken. Add in cheese, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Using the right cheese in this recipe can make or break your sauce. We love using Truly Grass Fed Sharp Cheddar Cheese. You can buy it on Amazon Fresh!

Add macaroni to the sauce and stir until completely combined.
