reserve the sausages for later.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cook your pasta following package instructions. Drain well, but do not rinse.
Meanwhile, in a skillet under medium heat, cook the onion in the oil for about 5 min or until it softens.
Throw in the flour and cook during 1 min, by moving.
Pull away from the heat and allow to cool down for 2 minutes, then incorporate progressively 1 cup of milk.
Once the cup of milk is in, put back on the stove and add the rest of the milk.

Cook for 5-10 min, stirring occasionaly, until the sauce tickens.
Add the grated cheese, the mustard and the Worcestershire; stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted.
Add pasta and sausages to the sauce; pour the whole thing in an oven-going pan.
Sprinkle some more cheese on top and bake in the oven for around 30 min.
