Preparation Steps

  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 saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Stir in the truffle oil, fines herbes, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Panko Topping

    In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with a drizzle of truffle oil and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle the panko topping evenly over the top, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your truffle mac & cheese!
