Cook pasta according to package directions. Preheat oven on broil.
Place a sauce pan on the stove on medium heat. Add butter to pan and melt, making sure not to burn. Add flour and whisk for a minute, then add milk, and continue to whisk to avoid making your sauce lumpy. Milk will start to thicken slightly.
Add cheeses, smoked paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and salt to milk mixture, whisk an promptly remove from heat, because you don’t want to cheese to break down, you want it to be stringy and pully lol.
Drain cooked pasta, add it to sauce mixture and stir well.
Transfer to a 9×9 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Add half the cheddar cheese and half the mozzarella. Repeat again by adding the other half cheddar cheese, then the other half of mozzarella. Sprinkle lemon pepper on top.
Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, to brown top. Be careful not to burn the top, monitor the entire time.
Enjoy and comment.
