  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain; keep warm.

  2. Meanwhile, add butter and flour to a saucepan over medium heat. As butter melts, whisk flour to create a roux. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. When milk comes to a boil, turn off heat. Add Old Bay seasoning, Cheddar cheese, and Boursin cheese, and whisk until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and hot sauce to taste.
