Notes
Pasta: I like to use small shell pasta. If you use another type of pasta, you may find that you need to adjust the cooking time.
Evaporated milk: You can use regular, low-fat, or fat-free.
Mustard: I like to use Dijon, but if you don't have Dijon mustard, dry mustard makes a good substitute. I use about ¼-1/2 teaspoon or so if I'm using dry mustard.
Cheese: I use an aged white cheddar when I make this mac and cheese. Sometimes I also sprinkle a little bit of grated parmesan cheese on top.
