Method

Directions

  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.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously until it forms a roux.

  3. 3

    Add Milk and Cream

    Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream. Continue to cook, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sharp cheddar and gruyère cheese until melted and smooth. Add black truffle oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with shaved black truffle, and serve immediately.
