1

Boiling the macaroni

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente, following the package instructions. Don't overcook, we want it to have a little bite!

2

Making the truffle cheese sauce

In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly pour in 2 cups of milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens. Now comes the star of the show - add 1/2 a cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese, 1/2 a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 teaspoon of truffle oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue whisking until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety.

3

Combining the macaroni and sauce

Drain the cooked macaroni and transfer it back to the pot. Pour the truffle cheese sauce over the macaroni and stir gently to combine. Make sure each piece of macaroni is coated in that glorious cheesy goodness.

4

Baking to perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac n cheese mixture to a baking dish and top it off with an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, some breadcrumbs, and a drizzle of truffle oil for that extra oomph. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

5

Serving and devouring

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Then, grab a big spoon and dive right in. This Truffle Mac n Cheese is best enjoyed while it's still piping hot and the cheese is gooey. Be prepared for some serious foodgasm!
