My review
Four-Cheese Truffled Macaroni and Cheese
Hilary van Santen
"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!"

Ready In
- 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.

The recipe was ok.. There was a huge amount of cheese versus pasta, so you definitely have to make the breadcrumb topping. I felt the cheese sauce was a little bland & even though I heavily salt...

I halved the cheddar cheese and doubled the amount of bread crumbs (panko) and parmesan cheese for the topping. So good!

I used cream cheese in place of swiss and Velveeta in place of cheddar because it melts so well. It was wonderful. To the leftovers I added meatballs and it was even better. This a great ba...

I made it for a friendsgiving. Everyone loved it. I was worried kids wouldn't eat it with the truffle oil but they gobbled it up.
