1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the flour and cook for 2-4 minutes.
3. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add the cheeses, Duke’s and ground nutmeg.
4. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.
