1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the Mancini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Make the Béchamel Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until light golden brown. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and is smooth.
3
Add Cheese
Remove the béchamel sauce from heat and stir in the shredded Cabot cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
4
Combine and Serve
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the cheese sauce. Mix until the pasta is evenly coated. Serve hot as a side dish.
