Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan, add the mushrooms, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender. Add the sherry and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sherry is absorbed. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, add a tablespoon of salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
- Scald the milk in a medium saucepan. Melt the truffle butter in a large (4-quart) saucepan and whisk in the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Slowly add the scalded milk and cook for 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until thick and creamy. Off the heat, add the Gruyère, Cheddar, 2 tablespoons salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, and the nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, combine the pasta, the cream sauce, and two thirds of the mushrooms and pour into a 10 × 13 × 2-inch ovenproof baking dish. Place the bread, garlic, and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process to make fine crumbs. Sprinkle the herbed crumbs evenly on the pasta and arrange the remaining mushrooms down the middle.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the crumbs are golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes and serve hot.

Steps:
- For the topping: Mix the panko, Parmesan, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- For the pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta for 10 minutes (it should still be firm as it will continue to cook in the sauce). Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta-cooking water.
- While the pasta cooks, heat a 3 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, mushrooms, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown. Remove the cooked mushrooms to a plate and drizzle with the truffle oil.
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Reduce the heat to medium under the Dutch oven. Add the butter and flour and mix with a wooden spoon to form a paste. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another minute. Slowly whisk in the milk. Bring this mixture to a simmer, whisking occasionally to prevent sticking on the bottom. Simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk in the gruyere, fontina and Parmesan and stir until fully incorporated.
- Add the pasta, reserved pasta water, cooked mushroom mixture, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper to the cheese sauce and fold everything together. Top with the breadcrumb mixture and drizzle with the olive oil and truffle oil. Broil until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling, about 8 minutes.
- Allow the mac and cheese to sit for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot.

FOUR-CHEESE TRUFFLED MACARONI AND CHEESE
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!

Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. For the best flavor, use a variety of mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster mushrooms. If you can't find a variety of mushrooms, you can use all of one type.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the mushrooms, make sure to spread them out in a single layer in the pan. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are tender. The mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. If you cook them too long, they will become tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Don't overcook the macaroni. The macaroni should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and the dish will be less enjoyable.
Conclusion:
This Truffled Mushroom and Cheesy Macaroni Casserole is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is made with a variety of mushrooms, a creamy cheese sauce, and tender macaroni. The truffle oil adds a touch of luxury and sophistication to the dish. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
