Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Make the sauce while the pasta is cooking.
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat.

Continue to cook and stir the sauce until it is thickened.
If the white American cheese is not sliced, cut it into cubes.
Add the white American cheese into the sauce. Stir and cook until the cheese has melted.
Add the white sharp cheese and Dijon mustard. Stir and cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce has a smooth consistency.
