One-Pot Mac 'n' Cheese

• 4 cups whole milk
• 3/4 pound elbow macaroni (about 3 cups)
• 8 ounces mild Cheddar, shredded (about 3 cups)
• 3 ounces part-skim mozzarella, shredded (about 1 cup)
• 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Large pinch cayenne pepper
• Large pinch freshly grated nutmeg
• Kosher salt

1. Put the milk and macaroni in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping, then cook, stirring frequently, until the macaroni is tender and the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese, butter, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and stir until smooth, thick and creamy.
4. Serve hot.
5. (The dish will thicken as it cools; thin it out with a little hot water if desired.)
