Use a mix of cheeses that add up to 0.5lbs. Do not buy shredded cheese. It has corn starch or other additives to prevent it from sticking. I like shells or elbows for the pasta.

    Steps for Completion
  1. Slice the shallots then soften with the light olive oil.
  2. Add the mustard and cook for a little bit.
  3. Add the flour and form a paste.
  4. Add the milk slowly while mixing and then cook for a minute. Add the egg and mix.
  5. Add the cheese and cook until melted. Add some salt and pepper.
  6. Cook the pasta in a separate pot.
