Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

   Make the Cheese Sauce

   In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

   Combine Pasta and Cheese Sauce

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce. Mix well and let it cool slightly.
