Ingredients

  • 3/8 (16 ounce) package cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni)

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 tablespoons flour

  • 1-3/4 cups and 1 tablespoon milk, divided

  • 3/4 cup and 1 1/2 tablespoon shredded smoked Gouda cheese

  • 2/3 cup and 2 teaspoons shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

  • 1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs

  • 1 tablespoon AOOC Black Truffle Oil or White Truffle Oil

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9×13-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 AOOC Truffle Oil of your choice over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
