Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground mustard or 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp flour
4 cups cooked penne pasta (about 1/2 lb dry )
4 tbsp butter
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4-1 cup milk

Directions:

Spray a small glass baking dish with non-stick spray. Preheat oven to 400°F Combine salt, mustard (or cayenne) and flour in a small bowl.
Spread a layer of pasta (about half the penne) in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with half the flour mixture and dot with half the butter. Cover with half the cheese. Repeat for a second layer. (If scaling up, you can make more layers or use a larger pan, either will work.).
Add milk until the bottom of the pan is 1/4-1/3 full of milk. (Pour slowly so the milk has time to percolate down through the cheese and pasta, so you don't overdo it.) Bake uncovered 30 minutes. (If you have another dish in the oven at 350, you can pop it in alongside for 40-45 minutes.).
