Best 7 Truffle Carbonara Mac And Cheese Recipes

TRUFFLED MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan, add the mushrooms, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are tender. Add the sherry and continue to saute for a few more minutes, until the sherry is absorbed. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add the pasta and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, melt the truffle butter in a large (4-quart) saucepan and whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. Slowly whisk in the hot milk and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the white sauce is thickened and creamy. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, the pepper, and nutmeg.
• Combine the pasta, sauce, and mushrooms in a large bowl and pour them into a 10 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish.
• Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until they're minced. Add the bread crumbs and pulse to combine. Sprinkle the crumbs over the pasta and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the crumbs are golden brown. Serve hot.

MACARONI AND CHEESE CARBONARA

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until it is al dente, about 6 minutes. Strain, reserving 1 3/4 cups of the pasta water. Set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until it is crispy and most of the fat has been rendered, about 15 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour the fat into a small heat-safe measuring cup. Add enough olive oil to total 1/4 cup of fat. Reserve.
• Carefully wipe out the saucepan (or give it a quick rinse if it is really dirty). Add the half-and-half and 2 teaspoons pepper and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Whisk in the Cheddar and Gruyere until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
• Add the macaroni and the reserved pasta water to the saucepan and stir to combine. (It will look very loose, but the pasta will suck up a lot of the sauce as it bakes.) Season to taste with salt if needed. Gently fold in the bacon and 3/4 of the sliced scallions. Pour into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
• Toss the bread crumbs with the reserved bacon-fat mixture and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese and bake until the cheese is bubbly and the bread crumbs are lightly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Garnish with the remaining scallions and serve.

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Whisk flour into butter until mixture has a thick, paste-like consistency, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk 2 cups milk into butter-flour mixture until smooth. Stir in remaining milk, increase heat to medium high, and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick and almost boiling, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stir Gouda cheese, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese into milk mixture until cheese melts and cheese sauce is smooth. Fold cavatappi into cheese sauce; pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
• Stir remaining Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together in a small bowl. Sprinkle bread crumbs mixture over cavatappi mixture and drizzle truffle oil over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and thyme, then squeeze in the roasted garlic flesh from the skin and cook to soften the onions, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle over the flour and cook for a minute or two. Stir in the heavy cream and reserved pasta water. Add the mascarpone, truffles, pepper, salt and paprika. Stir to combine. Add 1 1/2 cups of each cheese and stir to melt.
• In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the pasta, half of the remaining cheese, the remaining pasta and then top with the remaining cheese. Bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes, then broil until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to sit for a few minutes before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the top quarter off each garlic bulb. Place the bulbs in a pie pan and drizzle the tops with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake until the garlic is roasted and soft, about 45 minutes.

MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH LOBSTER AND SUMMER TRUFFLES

Add the scalded milk and stir constantly with a wire whisk. Add the mascarpone cheese and fava beans. Season with kosher salt and white pepper to taste. Remove from heat and reserve.
• CRUST: Mix the panko, Parmesan cheese and parsley in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Moisten with truffle oil. Season lightly with kosher salt and white pepper.
• In each of the cassoulet dishes, slice 1/2 of a lobster, arranging it in a circular pattern in the center of each dish. Reserve claws. Layer slices of summer truffles on top of the lobster. Add the macaroni to the sauce base, adjust the seasoning with salt and white pepper. Cover the lobster with the macaroni and sauce, dividing it evenly between the 4 dishes, filling up to the top. Place lobster claw in the center of each dish. Cover with the breadcrumb topping. Place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees until the top is golden brown and the cassoulet is hot all the way through (about 15 minutes). Serve with Louis Roderer L'Ermitage cuvee and enjoy!
