Truffle mac and cheese is just one spectacular recipe in which the ingredient can shine\u2014and after one bite, we&#8217;re sure you&#8217;ll agree. This decadently creamy dish gets its flavor from authentic truffle oil, which imbues the dish with the fungi&#8217;s deep, earthy flavor.

This is a dish to break out when you want to wow folks, whether you have a few friends over for dinner, are celebrating the holidays or simply want to give your midweek meal a luxurious touch.<\/p>\n<h2>What are truffles?<\/h2>\n<p>Not to be confused with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-truffles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-truffles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chocolate truffles<\/a>, the truffles here are fabulous fungi, cousins to the mushroom. Truffles have a wonderfully earthy, borderline nutty aroma and flavor. They are beautifully and boldly fragrant, and are typically used to lace everything from silky mashed potatoes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/italian-pasta-dishes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/italian-pasta-dishes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italian pasta dishes<\/a>, pizza and more with their signature flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Truffles come in several types. Summer brings the highly coveted Perigord black truffle and the more affordable Burgundy truffle, while autumn heralds white truffle season. The Italian white Alba truffle, aka <em>tartufo bianco<\/em>, is the most prized (and alas, expensive) of these delicacies.<\/p>\n<p>Often shaved fresh and sprinkled on top as a finishing touch to recipes, truffles are also used to flavor oils, cheese, honey, salt and various condiments like mayo. Genuine truffle products count either black or white truffles in their ingredients lists.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Truffle Mac and Cheese<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2080958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-Mac-and-Cheese_FT24_216598_JR_1108_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Ingredients for Truffle Mac And Cheese \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pasta:<\/strong> The mac in macaroni usually means elbow pasta, but cavatappi, rotini, shells and farfalle are alternative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pasta shapes<\/a> you can use in this recipe. Shells are a particular favorite, thanks to their ability to catch the cheesy sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter, flour and milk:<\/strong> Together, butter, milk and flour make a basic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-bechamel\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-bechamel\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bechamel sauce<\/a>. This becomes the foundation of your truffle-laden cheese sauce for the mac and cheese. While any type of milk is fine, many folks prefer skim for mac and cheese, but I like whole milk for the extra richness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese:<\/strong> This recipe has many ingredients that take it up a notch, but the use of not one, not two, but three kinds of cheese makes truffle mac and cheese a culinary work of art\u2014at least as far as our taste buds are concerned. We use cheddar, Gruyere and Parmesan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spices and seasonings:<\/strong> Ground mustard, nutmeg and garlic add warmth and depth to this mac and cheese. A little salt and pepper make a nice finishing touch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Truffle oil:<\/strong> Many truffle oils on the market aren&#8217;t true truffle oils: Instead, they&#8217;re made with a synthetic compound that mimics the aroma and flavor of these heavenly fungi. Check if the oil is real by looking at the label. True truffle oils are quite a bit more expensive than the synthetic versions, but the difference in taste makes them worth every penny.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bread crumbs:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Panko<\/a> bread crumbs give mac and cheese a satisfying crunch. These Japanese bread crumbs are coarser and lighter in texture than regular bread crumbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chives:<\/strong> A member of the onion family, the chive&#8217;s garlic-like flavor complements the truffle&#8217;s pungent profile. You could also mix it up with fresh thyme leaves, parsley, rosemary and sage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the pasta<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F.

The natural sweetness found in these shellfish complements the nutty, savory flavors in this recipe to perfection. Second choice? Bacon, pancetta or sweet Italian sausage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it herby: <\/strong>Parsley is brilliant as a finishing touch, but you can add a bay leaf, fresh thyme sprigs or tarragon to the milk and gently heat it to infuse the sauce with an elegant herbal flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Truffle Mac and Cheese<\/h2>\n<p>Let any leftover truffle mac and cheese cool. Once cooled, place the leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does truffle mac and cheese last?<\/h3>\n<p>When refrigerated, truffle macaroni and cheese lasts three to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze truffle mac and cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>As a general rule, mac and cheese freezes pretty well, so it&#8217;s no surprise that truffle mac is a stellar candidate for the freezer. After the pasta has cooled, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Frozen truffle mac and cheese should be enjoyed within two to three months. Before reheating, let the leftovers thaw in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat truffle mac and cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a couple of ways to warm up leftover truffle mac and cheese. Reheating it in the oven is the best route. Put the mac and cheese into a baking dish, cover it with foil, and cook it at 350\u00b0 for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese becomes bubbly.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re too famished to wait, the fastest way to reheat the leftovers is in the microwave. Put a scoop or two on a microwave-safe plate and zap it until warm, for one to two minutes. Finally, you can reheat the mac and cheese on the stovetop as well. Put the mac and cheese into a saucepan, splash a little milk into the pan to prevent the pasta from drying out and reheat it over medium-low until warmed through.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make truffle mac and cheese ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely. Whipping up truffle mac and cheese in advance means the flavors have more time to meld together for a richer truffle flavor. Assemble the mac and cheese, then cover the baking dish and store it in the fridge for up to four days until it&#8217;s time to bake and eat.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you can fully prepare and bake the truffle mac and cheese, let it cool, then pop it in the refrigerator to enjoy over the next few days as leftovers.<\/p>\n<h2>Truffle Mac and Cheese Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2080964\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-Mac-and-Cheese_FT24_216598_JR_1108_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Close up shot of Truffle Mac And Cheese topped with chives\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What are the best types of cheese for truffle mac and cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>This version of truffle mac and cheese uses a heavenly trio of cheddar, Gruyere and Parmesan, yet many a cheese works seamlessly in this recipe.
