Truffled Mac n Cheese

The ULTIMATE comfort food! This recipe is pretty simple and doesn't require a whole lot of prep or time. Of course, if you don't have Truffle oil or Truffle salt, you can still make this, but the Truffle is the icing on the cake!

Ingredients:

3Tbsp Butter

3Tbsp Flour

2-3 Cups milk (I use whole, but 1-2% will work)

1-2 Cups grated cheese (Sharp cheddar & Pecorino/Parmesan)

1tsp Thyme

1tsp Black Truffle Salt (or to taste)

1Tbsp White Truffle extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling over top

8oz Pasta (Rotini, Penne, or your favorite)

Extra parm for topping

Directions:

Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and continuoulsy whisk until bubbly and pasty, about 2-3 min. Slowly add milk while whisking, about 1/2 cup at a time, adding more when the sauce begins to thicken. Keep whisking and let thicken (adding more milk if necessary) until desired thickness is reached. Turn heat to low, and add cheeses, thyme, Black Truffle Salt and White Truffle olive oil, stirring until all is incorporated and cheese is melted. Taste and adjust salt or add more Truffle oil if you like a stronger flavor. Cook your pasta according to package directions. Pour sauce over cooked pasta and enjoy! Yummmmm.
