Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1/3 cup of the pasta cooking water. Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and stir the paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt together in a small bowl.

Measure the evaporated milk, full cream milk, tomato paste, butter, and grated cheese before you start cooking. Having everything ready helps the sauce come together smoothly without overcooking the garlic or cheese.
