1

Boil the pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add your favorite pasta (elbow, penne, or shells work well) and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Pro tip: Do a pasta taste test to make sure it's perfectly cooked!

2

Make the cheese sauce

In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in flour to form a roux. Slowly pour in milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3

Add the cheese and truffle oil

Now it's time to introduce the stars of the show: cheese and truffle oil! Gradually stir in a combination of your favorite gourmet cheeses (such as Gruyere, Fontina, or sharp cheddar) until fully melted and smooth. Drizzle in the truffle oil (use it sparingly, as a little goes a long way) and mix well. Pro tip: Don't forget to take a moment to appreciate the heavenly aroma filling your kitchen!

4

Combine pasta and sauce

Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pot with the cheese sauce. Gently fold the pasta into the sauce until every noodle is coated in creamy goodness. Pro tip: If you like things extra gooey, sprinkle in some extra shredded cheese for good measure!

5

Bake to bubbly perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. Top it off with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs for a delightful crunch. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Pro tip: Be patient, the aroma will make the wait worthwhile!
