Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Elbow Macaroni Noodles
  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 tablespoons Flour
  • 4 cups Half and Half or 4 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 4 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 2 cups fine shredded Colby Jack Cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh Parsley chopped, to garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions just to al dente. Do not overcook. Drain. Set aside.
  • Place a sauce pan over medium heat.
  • Add butter to the pan. Cook until melted and hot, but not browned.
  • Add flour. Whisk to make a roux. Whisk until the butter mixture starts to boil and bubble. Cook for another minute until it starts to lightly brown.
  • Slowly whisk in cream. Continue to whisk and cook until sauce starts to thicken up.
  • Add salt, pepper and paprika. Stir.
  • Add Monterey Jack cheese. Whisk until the cheese is melted. The sauce will still be a little runny.
  • Pour about 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce into the bottom of a bowl.
  • Add about 1 cup cooked noodles over the sauce.
  • Top this with about 1/2 cup of the shredded Colby Jack cheese.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley for color.
