Truffle Mac and Cheese ~ a luxurious baked pasta with plenty of rich creamy sauce and an earthy flavor and aroma thanks to truffled cheese, truffle oil, and a dash of truffle salt.

Ingredients
- 1/2 pound pasta, cooked al dente
- 2-3 cremini mushrooms stems trimmed, and finely diced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk this helps keep the sauce creamy
- 2 tsp truffle oil
- 3/4 tsp truffle salt or to taste
- 8 ounces truffled soft goat cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
crumb topping
- 3 Tbsp bread crumbs
- truffle oil
- truffle salt
- fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F Lightly butter a gratin or other baking dish
- In a dry saucepan sauté the chopped mushrooms, stirring almost constantly, until they lose their moisture and start to turn dark. Add the butter and flour and cook for a minute or two, but don't let it brown.
- Slowly add in the milk, cream, and evaporated milk, stirring to blend. Turn the heat up a bit and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it just comes to a simmer and thickens. Don't let it come to a boil.
- Take off the heat, add the truffle oil and truffle salt, and let it cool for a minute.
- Add the cheeses and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Fold in the cooked pasta and turn into your prepared pan.
- To make the breadcrumb topping, moisten the breadcrumbs with truffle oil and add a pinch of truffle salt. I also add some fresh cracked pepper. Sprinkle the crumbs over the pasta.
- Cook the mac and cheese for about 20 minutes, or until bubbling. If you'd like a little more browning, run it under the broiler briefly, but watch it very carefully so it doesn't burn.
- Serve the mac and cheese immediately.
