2. To prepare roux, melt butter into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted whisk in flour, salt, pepper and paprika powder. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring continuously until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in cheese until melted.

Do not mix too thoroughly, it's better left messy. To thin the sauce, add a few tablespoons of milk at a time until at desire consistency. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with mozarella cheese over the top.
