Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and mustard until smooth. Whisk in the half and half, then add the remaining 1/4 cup hot sauce and stir until thick, about 2 minutes.

Whisk in cheese, pasta and cheese sauce. Pour into lightly greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle blue cheese or Gorgonzola over the macaroni.
Step 5
Bake until bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with some red hot sauce on the top for color.
