Creamy Mac and Cheese

Creamy Cheesy Mac and Cheese

4 Cups dry Pasta
3 Tablespoons Butter
3 Tablespoons all-purpose Flour
1 ½ Cup Whole Milk
½ Cup Heavy Cream
½ Tablespoon Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 Cups Colby Jack Cheese (shredded)

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a generously amount of salt to the water and add the pasta to boiling water and cook pasta until al dente (about 7-8 minutes) or according to package instructions.
While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large pot. Add the flour and stir over medium heat until the mixture is lightly browned. Add the milk and heavy cream and whisk to remove any lumps. Add the paprika, salt and pepper to your taste and whisk everything together.
Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and starts to bubble (about 6 minutes).
Stir in the cheese and whisk until smooth and melted. Turn off the heat. When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add to the sauce. Stir the pasta into the sauce. Enjoy!
