1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Make the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly. Slowly add milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
3
Add Cheese
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Cabot cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
4
Combine
Add the cooked elbow macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. Serve hot.
