Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Roux

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is bubbly and golden.

  2. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Cheeses and Seasoning

    Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the Taleggio cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with salt, black pepper, and grated nutmeg. Mix until smooth.

Combine and Serve

  1. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni and the cheese sauce, stirring until the pasta is evenly coated.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish. Arrange the prosciutto slices on top. If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top and drizzle with olive oil.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dish for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Taleggio Prosciutto Mac & Cheese!
