Instructions:

1. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
3. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens and becomes smooth.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add the grated cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Add the paprika and Super Magic Taste to the cheese sauce, adjusting the amount according to your desired level of spiciness. Stir well.
6. Add the cooked macaroni to the spicy cheese sauce and mix until the pasta is well coated.
7. Cook the mac and cheese mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
