• pour water and salt into a medium pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the water has cooked down a bit, about 5 minutes.
• stir in the milk, and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. add the cheddar, parmesan, pepper, and mustard; stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is thick and creamy. the starch from the pasta thickens the sauce as the pasta cooks.
