Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked rigatoni pasta
- cup butter
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- cup cubed sharp Cheddar cheese
- cup cubed Gouda cheese
- cup grated Parmesan cheese
- cup blue cheese dressing
- cup milk
- Paprika, to taste

Directions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- In the same pot with the pasta, add the butter and crushed garlic. Stir over low heat until the butter has melted and the garlic is fragrant.
- Gradually add the cubed Cheddar, Gouda, and Parmesan cheeses, stirring constantly. Be sure to keep the heat low to prevent the cheese from becoming stringy.
- Slowly incorporate the blue cheese dressing and milk into the cheese mixture, stirring continuously until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
- Season the pasta with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well, ensuring the seasoning is distributed evenly.
- Once the pasta is coated and the sauce is smooth, serve immediately. Enjoy!
