Prepare the Ingredients: Start by grating your sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, setting aside. Gather all ingredients like heavy whipping cream, water, and seasonings.

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, combine macaroni with enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 7-9 minutes until al dente.

Melt the Cheese: Lower the heat and add heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly stir in freshly grated cheeses until the sauce is smooth.

Adjust & Serve: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or a sprinkle of paprika.
