1/4 cup cream sherry, such as Harveys Bristol Cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound cavatappi pasta, such as De Cecco
4 cups whole milk
3 ounces white truffle butter, such as Urbani

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Four-Cheese Truffled Macaroni and Cheese image

This is one of my favorite things to make once the weather gets a chill in the air. It's great for cheese-lovers (like myself) and works great as leftovers or at dinner parties! Truffle oil has by far been one of the best culinary purchases I have made. One little bottle has lasted me a year, and can be used with so many things, like this recipe. Top with a pinch of truffle salt!

1 (16 ounce) package cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni)

2 ½ cups shredded smoked Gouda cheese
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon truffle oil

  • Stir remaining Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together in a small bowl. Sprinkle bread crumbs mixture over cavatappi mixture and drizzle truffle oil over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

1l whole milk
2 bay leaves
60g butter
60g plain flour
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp roughly chopped thyme leaves
80g porcini white truffle paste or 2 tbsp truffle oil
1 tbsp porcini powder (or dried porcini mushrooms blitzed to a powder in a food processor)
80g taleggio cheese , chopped
125g ball of mozzarella , chopped

30g fresh breadcrumbs
30g parmesan , finely grated

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni following pack instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside to cool.

Melt the butter in a large non-stick saucepan, then stir in the flour to make a thick paste, continuing to stir for 3-4 mins. Remove and discard the bay leaves from the milk, then gradually pour it into the flour and butter mix, continuously stirring to keep the sauce smooth.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the mac and cheese will be. Use freshly grated Parmesan and Gruyère cheeses, and a good quality white truffle oil. You can also use fresh black truffles if you can find them.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. Making a roux will help to ensure that the cheese sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Use a flavorful cheese blend: A combination of Parmesan, Gruyère, and white cheddar cheeses will give the mac and cheese a rich and complex flavor.
  • Add some truffle oil: Truffle oil is a great way to add a luxurious truffle flavor to the mac and cheese. Be sure to use a high-quality truffle oil, as the flavor can vary widely.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or thyme, will add a pop of color and flavor to the mac and cheese.

Conclusion:

Truffle mac and cheese is a delicious and decadent dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make a truffle mac and cheese that is sure to impress your friends and family.
