Como fazer Awesome Mac And Cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of elbow macaroni and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 3 cups of warmed whole milk, a little at a time, ensuring a smooth consistency. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and smooth.
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir gently to combine.
Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle with paprika (optional).
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Check for doneness around the 45 minute mark.
Let rest for 10-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
