- To prepare roux, melt butter into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted whisk in flour, salt, pepper and paprika powder. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring continuously until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in cheese until melted.
- Transfer cooked pasta to large dutch oven or pot over low heat. Pour cheese sauce over top, stirring to combine, toss lightly. This is a thick and creamy sauce. Do not mix too thoroughly, it's better left messy. To thin the sauce, add a few tablespoons of milk at a time until at desire consistency. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with mozarella cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes, then turn the oven to broil. Broil for about 5 minutes to brown the top. Makes 6 servings.
