Rate this Recipe


Ingredients:

12 oz Cavatappi or Elbow Noodles
6 Tbsp Butter, divided
1 1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 Tsp Salt
2 Cup Whole Milk
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
6 oz Diced Pimentos
1 Sleeve Ritz Crackers, crumbled (about 1 1/2 Cups)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 Tbsp of butter to grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. While the noodles are cooking, make the cheese sauce. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour, paprika, and salt. Whisk to combine. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly.
  4. Add the milk and heavy cream and whisk to combine. Increase the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until simmering. Turn off the heat.
  5. Add the shredded cheese and stir until melted and fully combined.
  6. Return the noodles to the pot. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and stir to coat. Add the pimentos and stir to incorporate. Pour into the prepared cast iron skillet.
  7. Add the crackers to a Ziploc bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the crackers into crumbs. Add to a bowl.
  8. Melt the remaining 3 Tbsp butter and pour on top of the crumbs. Stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the macaroni.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  10. Spoon into bowl, serve, and enjoy!
