Mac & Cheese Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden, creating a roux.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cheeses

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar and gruyère cheeses until melted and smooth.

  5. 5

    Season and Add Truffle Oil

    Stir in the truffle oil, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.

  6. 6

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Transfer to serving bowls and drizzle with additional truffle oil if desired.
