4 ounces multi-grain macaroni, uncooked
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
3 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fat-free milk

Combine the bread crumbs and 2 teaspoons oil and stir with a fork to evenly coat. Set aside.
Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil plus 1 teaspoon oil to a large saucepan. Set over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour, paprika, salt and pepper until smooth. Add the milk, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking, for about 5 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese until it melts. Stir in the macaroni.
