Cooking Pasta
1. Boil the Pasta
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the elbow macaroni. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Making Cheese Sauce
2. Prepare the Cheese Sauce
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. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

In a small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the macaroni and cheese in the baking dish.
