Quantities above make four portions. Calorie count is per serving.

Method

  1. Cook macaroni until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Melt butter in the pot, whisk in flour, then gradually add milk to form a bechamel.
  3. Stir in cheddar, gruyere, and fontina until melted and silky smooth.
  4. Fold in pasta and truffle oil. Transfer to a baking dish.
  5. Top with panko tossed in melted butter. Broil 3-4 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Timing

Allow roughly 6 minutes of preparation and 19 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
