Pour the milk with the raw macaroni in a medium saucepan; bring milk to a boil over medium heat; stir frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping. Continue to boil, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender and milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, about 4 - 5 minutes.
Remove saucepan from the heat; add Monterey Jack cheese, Mozzarella, cream cheese, sour cream, butter, cayenne and 1 1/2 t. salt; stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Fold in the dill and chives. The dish will thicken while it cools. If you want it thinner, add a little hot water, if desired.
Serve hot.
