Method
Directions
Cook the Macaroni
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.
Add Cheese
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Combine
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is evenly coated.
If using breadcrumbs, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the mac and cheese into a baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
