Bobbe's Creamy Cheesy Pasta

Boil a substantial quantity of water in a large pot, adding a moderate amount of salt to enhance flavor. Once the water reaches its boiling point, cook the rigatoni pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches a satisfying firmness. Remove the pasta from the boiling water and transfer it back to the pot.

In the same pot containing the cooked pasta, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, shredded Cheddar cheese, sliced Gouda cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Gradually heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent the cheese from becoming stringy. Be cautious not to apply excessive heat, as this can cause the cheese to separate. Gradually incorporate the blue cheese dressing and milk into the pasta, continuing to heat and stir until the entire mixture is well-coated. Finally, season with a pinch of paprika, salt, and pepper to complete the dish.
