FOUR-CHEESE TRUFFLED MACARONI AND CHEESE



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!

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni)
6 tablespoons butter
½ cup flour
5 ½ cups milk, divided
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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Whisk flour into butter until mixture has a thick, paste-like consistency, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk 2 cups milk into butter-flour mixture until smooth. Stir in remaining milk, increase heat to medium high, and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick and almost boiling, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir Gouda cheese, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese into milk mixture until cheese melts and cheese sauce is smooth. Fold cavatappi into cheese sauce; pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
  • 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.

A more grown-up version of a favorite dish. Nice as a side for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The truffle oil definitely makes it more expensive, but it's worth it.
