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!

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step: 2

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.

Step: 3

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.

Step: 4

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.

Step: 5

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.

Step: 6

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , late-night snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this reason that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and cravings , it is much necessary to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the junk food and should have just pleased it in the first place."

When it comes to dinner , much eat or eating too much of the bad item of food can lead to trouble on sleeping. On the other side, a daylight food that is less than satiating can leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to bedtime .
