Cheddar cheese · shredded4 cups
Pecorino cheese · grated½ cups
Sodium citrate1 tbsp
Mustard powder1 tsp
Salt
Black pepper

Instructions

Boil the macaroni in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
Combine the milk, water and sodium citrate in a large pot and bring to a simmer.
Add the cheddar to the simmering liquid slowly, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, stirring until each addition melts in. Keep going until the sauce is completely smooth; use an immersion blender if needed.
Stir in the mustard powder, then taste and season with salt and pepper.
Toss the pasta with half the cheese sauce, then add more sauce until it reaches the desired consistency. If it is too thick, loosen it with a little of the reserved pasta water.
Taste once more, adjust the seasoning, and serve right away.
