Three Cheese Truffle Mac N Cheese
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 12 servings 1x
Description
Tired of the generic mac n cheese making it’s appearance at your dinner table? Ready for something a little more adult-friendly and impressive. Try this Mac n Cheese that I substitute with Gnocchi! It is amazing!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons truffle butter (I suggest tasting the truffle butter before committing fully to it… it’s definitely an acquired taste!)
- 2 tablespoons regular butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk – don’t try and skimp on this!
- 1 ½ cups swiss cheese, grated
- 2 16 ounce boxes gnocchi
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese, grated
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, flaked
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
- ¼ cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 peeled garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 F.
-
Cook gnocchi to package directions. Drain and set aside.
-
While pasta is cooking, prepare cheese sauce in a cast iron dutch oven (or pan that can be both stove top and oven). Melt 2 tablespoons truffle butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to combine, cooking over medium-low heat until flour mixture becomes light brown in color. Add milk while whisking and cook over medium heat 5-10 minutes or until sauce thickens.
-
Add melted butter to bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic clove and parsley to a food processor and process for 30 seconds or until minced. Set aside.
-
Remove sauce from heat and add swiss, white cheddar and remaining 1/2 cup parmesan cheeses; stir until melted. Season with kosher salt and white ground pepper.
-
Add gnocchi to the prepared sauce and stir to combine. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture and additional parmesan cheese, if desired. Bake 10-15 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and bubbly. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary or flat-leaf parsley and serve!
- Cook Time: 45 minutes
