Cook the Pasta

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

Make the Cheese Sauce

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Add Cheese and Seasonings

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to combine, ensuring that all pasta is coated.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
