1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the 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 the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5
Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with additional cheese or paprika if desired.
