Cooking the Pasta

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Making the Cheese Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Reduce heat to low and add the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
