One-Pot Mac and Cheese

Grate the cheddar coarsely.

Pour milk into a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the dried (uncooked) pasta, season with salt, pepper, sprinkle with paprika, stir, and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta softens (approximately 10 - 15 min).

Once the pasta is cooked and most of the milk is gone, remove the pot from the heat and stir in all the grated cheese. Stir until all the cheese is perfectly melted. Serve immediately.
