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

Cook the Pasta

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it turns golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened.

Make the Cheese Sauce

Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, and grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and creamy.

Add the Cheeses

Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce, mixing until the pasta is evenly coated.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste. If desired, transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Season the Dish

If using bread crumbs, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and crispy.

Knead and Rise

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares or rectangles.
