Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until bubbly.

Stir in gluten-free flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well.

Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese until melted and smooth.

Combine cooked pasta with the cheese sauce, mixing until well coated.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.

Top with bread crumbs and sprinkle with paprika for color.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
