  2. Make the cheese sauce

    • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour.
    • Cook the roux briefly, then gradually whisk in the warm milk and cream until smooth and thickened.
    • Season with salt, pepper and paprika, then stir in most of the cheddar, Gruyère and mozzarella off the heat until melted.

  3. Combine pasta and sauce

    • Fold the drained macaroni into the cheese sauce until evenly coated.
    Step 3

  4. Assemble and bake
