CAVATAPPI MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Start the water for the pasta and turn the oven to broil. Eventually, when the pot comes to a boil, add salt, let it come to boil again, and cook the pasta to al dente.
• Meanwhile, cut up the cheese into cubes and blitz in the food processor.
• Make the cheese sauce. In a medium size saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat, then add the flour, whisking constantly to make a roux.
• Slowly pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thickened (some say "until it coats the back of a wooden spoon").
• Add in about two thirds of the cheese, reserving enough to top your pan. Then add the paprika, salt and pepper. Taste and then adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
• When the pasta has finished cooking, drain the pasta and return it to the pasta pot. Add the cheese sauce to the pasta and then mix them together in the pasta pot.
• Pour the mixture into a 9 inch by 13 inch glass pyrex or other baking pan or casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and slide the pan under the broiler until browned to desired brownness, about 5-10 minutes, watching it carefully so it does not burn.
