Ingredients

170 g pipe rigate, or other short-cut pasta   2 1/2 cups
2 tsp butter, unsalted   9 g
1/3 dried chili peppers, minced   0.1 g
2 tsp white flour (all purpose)   5 g
1/3 cup milk, partly skimmed, 2%   85 mL
1 tsp whole-grain mustard   5 mL
2/3 cup Cheddar cheese, grated   50 g
4 tsp Parmesan cheese, grated   4 g

Before you start

Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed.

Method

To save time, the sauce preparation and pasta cooking steps should be done at the same time.
  1. Start cooking the pasta.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced chili pepper and sauté 1 min, then add the flour and cook 2 min with stirring. Pour in the milk and bring to a boil. Add the mustard and grated cheeses while stirring until the sauce is smooth.
  3. Put the drained pasta back into the pasta cooking pot, add the sauce and mix well. Serve in the warmed dishes.
