Mac & Cheese Ingredients

2 cups Macaroni pasta

1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

2 cups Milk

4 tablespoons Butter

1/4 cup 00 bread flour

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon Watkins garlic powder

1 tablespoon Truffle oil

1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (for topping)

2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method

Directions

Cook the Macaroni

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

Make the Cheese Sauce

In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens.

Add Cheeses and Seasoning

Remove the pot from heat and stir in cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated.

Prepare the Topping

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with truffle oil. This will give the topping a delicious truffle flavor.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly on top, and bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Serve

Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
