Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Cook the noodles al dente according to the package instructions.
While the noodles cook, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour to the melted butter and cook for a couple minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the milk and whisk for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
Remove from heat and add in the seasonings and shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the spices are fully incorporated.
