Cook the black fusilli pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain. 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and whisk in the flour, cooking for 1 minute to create a smooth roux. 3. Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking constantly until the mixture thickens into a rich, creamy sauce. 4. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until completely melted and smooth. 5. Toss the cooked black fusilli pasta directly into the warm amber cheese sauce until every spiral is thoroughly coated. 6. Transfer to a serving platter and serve piping hot. **Chef’s Notes by NancyG:** For an extra layer of gourmet flavor, mix a pinch of garlic powder and dry mustard into your cheese sauce. You can also substitute Gruyère or Monterey Jack cheese for a different melting profile. **Nutritional Facts:** Estimated per serving: 460 calories, 22g fat, 18g protein, 46g carbs. #TheRecipeCollector #NancyGCookOn! #WitchsHollow #SpookyFood #PastaRecipe
