Ingredients
  • 1 (16-ounce) box elbow macaroni pasta
  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 Tbsp. truffle shavings
  • Salt and pepper to taste (around 1 tsp. each)
  • 2 cups havarti cheese, grated
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Begin by cooking the macaroni pasta according to the directions on the box. Once it's cooked, drain and set it aside.

2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 4-5 minutes to create a roux.

3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and starts to thicken.

4. Remove the pot from the heat. Add the grated havarti and cheddar cheeses, stirring until they are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

5. Stir in the truffle shavings and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce, and stir to combine everything. 

6. Transfer the mac and cheese into a dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. 

7. Top with more truffle shavings, because you can. Serve immediately, while it's still hot and creamy!

 

  • Find truffles at your local gourmet grocery store, or substitute 1 tablespoon of truffle oil from your usual grocery store.
