How to make Truffle Butter Mac N Cheese

  1. Step 1

    Boil elbow noodles according to package instructions and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Make a blonde roux using truffle butter and flour.

  3. Step 3

    Once the roux has formed, add in milk. Adjust the heat to medium and continue to stir, ensuring not to scorch the bottom of the pan.

  4. Step 4

    After about 20 minutes, add in half of the cheese. Stir until the cheese is completely melted, about 3-5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add in black truffle salt, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Adjust seasonings and simmer for another 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    In a large bowl, add the cooked elbow noodles and 3/4 of the truffle cheese sauce. Mix well.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer all contents of the bowl into a greased baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese.

  8. Step 8

    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the roux does not burn by stirring continuously and keeping the heat at medium.

  2. For a crispier top, broil the mac and cheese for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.

FAQS

    Yes, you can substitute elbow noodles with any pasta of your choice.

  2. What can I use instead of truffle butter?

  4. Can I make this dish ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare it in advance and bake it just before serving.

  5. How can I make this dish spicier?

    Add more Louisiana hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
