Mozzarella Macaroni and Cheese image

I love mac and cheese, but sometimes the traditional cheddar versions have way more salt than I can handle. I love the texture of this one, too - there's no grainy feel to the sauce like you get with cheddar cheese. Recipe is by Angie McGowan of the blog Eclectic Recipes.

While I found the base recipe to be delicious, I decided to add a bit of heat to suit my spicy palate. I stirred in a pinch of cayenne pepper and a dash of paprika, which gave the mac and cheese a subtle kick without overpowering the other flavors.
