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.

Add Cheese and Seasonings
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated.
