Instructions

In a medium-sized Dutch oven add the pasta, chicken stock, and milk. Bring to a boil.
Once at a rolling boil, bring the temperature down to medium-low and let the pasta simmer until cooked through by your pasta's package directions.
Take the pot off the heat and mix in the butter with a wooden spoon. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheeses at a time, making sure to melt the cheese down after each addition.
Season to taste with spices, salt, and pepper.
Serve hot. Keeps in the fridge for 5 days in an airtight container.

Notes

The sauce thickens up when it cools. Stir in a hearty splash of milk and reheat over medium-low heat or in the microwave.
