1

Cook the pasta

Boil a large pot of salted water and cook your favorite macaroni according to the package instructions. Cook until al dente, so it still has a slight bite to it.

2

Prepare the truffle sauce

In a saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Cook the sauce for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens. Now it's time to add the star ingredient - truffle oil! Add 1 teaspoon of truffle oil to the sauce and stir well.

3

Combine the pasta and sauce

Drain the cooked pasta and transfer it back to the pot. Pour the truffle sauce over the cooked pasta and stir until the pasta is fully coated. The creamy truffle sauce will cling to every noodle, creating a flavor explosion in every bite.

4

Add the cheese

Now it's time to take this mac and cheese to the next level of deliciousness! Add 2 cups of shredded cheese of your choice to the pot and stir until the cheese has melted and formed a gooey, cheesy blanket over the pasta. Feel free to get creative with your cheese selection - try a combination of sharp cheddar, Gruyere, and Parmesan for a flavor-packed experience.

5

Garnish and serve

To add a touch of elegance to your truffle mac and cheese, sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top. The Parmesan will add an extra layer of umami and the parsley will bring a refreshing hint of green. Serve your masterpiece in individual bowls or a large sharing dish. Get ready to impress your guests with this gourmet twist on a classic comfort food!
