Pour 2 cups of water in a pot or saucepan, add 1 tsp salt and bring to a boil.

Add macaroni and stir so it's mostly submerged. Lower the heat to low.

Cover with a lid and boil al dente according to package instructions. Mine took 7 minutes. Stir occasionally and don't overcook.

Do not drain the pasta water and leave the burner on on low. To the pot add milk, ricotta cheese, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Stir thoroughly together until combined.
