Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Add Cheese and Seasoning
Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
