Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and goat cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and smooth. Add truffle oil, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce. Stir in fresh herbs and mix until the pasta is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bread Crumbs

    In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with olive oil until well coated.

  5. 5

    Bake the Mac & Cheese

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the prepared bread crumbs evenly on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as is or with your choice of protein (chicken, shrimp, or salmon) added on top.
