Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Salt the water and
cook the pasta to just shy of al dente.
Heat a large pot over medium heat with the EVOO and butter.
When the butter melts, add the onions, garlic, and salt and
pepper and cook until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the flour and cook for another minute. Stir in the paprika.
Whisk in the milk and hot sauce and bring up to a bubble, then
cook to thicken for a minute or two. Turn off the heat and stir in
half of the cheese in a figure-eight motion until melted. Add the
pimentos.
Preheat the broiler.
When the pasta is nearly al dente, drain it well and add it to the
pot with the cheese sauce. Toss to combine. Then pour the pasta
into a baking dish, top with the remaining cheese, and brown it
under the broiler, 2 to 3 minutes.
