Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.

  3. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
  4. Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
  6. For the topping, melt the butter in a sauté pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
