Instructions
- Start with making the noodles by following the package instructions. Boil, cook to al dente and drain.
- While the pasta is cooking you can prepare the sauce. Start with the roux. In a heavy saucepan over low/medium heat, melt the butter, then whisk in the flour, dry mustard powder, salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes, whisking the entire time.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and cream, until the butter/flour mixture has blended in well.
- Simmer, while whisking, until the milk mixture thickens.
- Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the cream cheese and goat cheese until melted.
- Then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is mixed thoroughly.
- Pour the cheese mixture over the cooked noodles and toss.
- Serve with a green salad and enjoy!
