Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the mixture thickens. Stir in the cheddar and gruyère cheeses until melted and smooth. Add truffle oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until well coated.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of additional cheese if desired.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
