1/2 tablespoon smoked Spanish sweet paprika

1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar

3 tablespoons thinly sliced chives, for garnish
Directions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the macaroni and cook to al dente. Drain in a colander.
