FOUR-CHEESE TRUFFLED MACARONI AND CHEESE



Four-Cheese Truffled Macaroni and Cheese image

This is one of my favorite things to make once the weather gets a chill in the air. It's great for cheese-lovers (like myself) and works great as leftovers or at dinner parties! Truffle oil has by far been one of the best culinary purchases I have made. One little bottle has lasted me a year, and can be used with so many things, like this recipe. Top with a pinch of truffle salt!

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni)
6 tablespoons butter
½ cup flour
5 ½ cups milk, divided
2 ½ cups shredded smoked Gouda cheese
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon truffle oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • 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.

TRUFFLED MACARONI AND CHEESE



TRUFFLED MACARONI AND CHEESE image

Categories     Pasta     Side

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb dry elbow macaroni
2 T canola oil
2 bone in skinless chicken thighs, seasoned with salt and pepper and lightly dusted with flour
1 yellow onion, peeled and sliced
1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed
small bunch fresh thyme
3 T flour
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup grated Asiago cheese
3 rounded T grated parmesan
1 rounded T crumbled blue cheese
1 T white truffle oil

Steps:

  • cook macaroni according to instructions on package. Set aside. In a heavy bottomed pot, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and brown, turning once, three to four minutes. Remove and set aside (not fully cooked at this point) Add onion, garlic, and thyme and cook until onion is transparent, four to five minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring frequently, for another 2 minutes. Return chicken to pot, add stock , and bring to a simmer, scraping b ottom of pot to remove any brown bits. Simmer gently to thicken, about 15 minutes. Remove thighs, now fully cooked, and set aside. Whisk cream into sauce and simmer to thicken, at least 5 minutes. Strain sauce into a large bowl (discarding onion, garlic, and thyme sprigs) and whisk in cheese immediately. Pick chicken meat from the bones and stir into sauce, along with the macaroni. Season to taste. Just before serving, stir in the truffle oil.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper. The better the ingredients, the better the macaroni and cheese will taste.
  • Cook the macaroni to al dente. This means that it should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will make the dish mushy.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the sauce. It helps to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère, will give the macaroni and cheese a complex flavor.
  • Add aromatics. Aromatics, such as onions, garlic, and shallots, can help to enhance the flavor of the dish. They can be sautéed in butter before adding the flour to make the roux.
  • Season the dish well. Salt, pepper, and nutmeg are all essential seasonings for macaroni and cheese. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the macaroni and cheese immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. It can be served as a main course or a side dish.

Conclusion:

Truffled macaroni and cheese is a delicious and decadent dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the best truffled macaroni and cheese that you have ever tasted.
