- Boil the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, then pour the cooked pasta back in the pot.
- Over medium low heat, combine the pasta with the butter until melted. Combine the evaporated milk, egg, mustard powder, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Pour it over the buttered pasta.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce coats the pasta and thickens.
- Turn off the heat and add the cheese in four installments. Adding it too fast will cause it to break. Enjoy!
