4 ounces sliced Land O Lakes® Yellow Deli American, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

How to make

STEP 1

Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions for al dente. Drain; set aside.
STEP 2

Meanwhile, whisk together milk, egg, ground mustard and hot sauce in medium bowl; set aside.
STEP 3

Toss together Cheddar cheese, Deli American and cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
STEP 4

While pasta is draining, melt butter in pasta pot. Return pasta to pot; add milk mixture and cheeses. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, 5 minutes or until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth and starting to bubble. Serve hot.

Tip #1

Salting your pasta water adds flavor and helps pasta cook better. There’s an old saying that your pasta water should be as salty as the sea. Shoot for 1 to 2 tablespoons kosher salt to about 1 gallon of water, and adjust to your taste.
