Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
Cook pasta in boiling salted water for 1 minute less than al dente according to the pkg directions. Drain and set aside.
Shred all your cheeses and divide them in half.
Heat a pot on medium heat and melt the butter. Once melted add in the heavy cream, whisk until smooth. Bring to a low simmer (depending on the size of your pot it may take 5-6 minutes. Keep whisking it every so often so it doesn't burn.)
Reduce heat to low and add in half of your shredded cheeses and all of your Velvetta, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground mustard, and salt let simmer on low until everything is melted and creamy. (Don't turn the heat up or it may become grainy)
Add in your cooked pasta.
Transfer 1/2 of the pasta cheese sauce to a 9x13 baking dish add 1/2 of the remaining shredded cheese on top. Followed by the remaining noodles on top and the remaining shredded cheese on top for the final layer.
Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch anything that boils over the top. Bake uncovered in the middle rack for 35-40 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Let your mac and cheese sit for at least 15 minutes to thicken up. Serve!
