How to cook deliciously - Four-Cheese Truffled Macaroni and Cheese

1. Stage

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

2. Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

3. Stage

While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Whisk flour into melted butter until mixture has a thick, paste-like consistency, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in 2 cups milk until smooth. Stir in remaining milk, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, whisking constantly, until thick and almost boiling, 5 to 10 minutes.

4. Stage

Add Gouda, Cheddar, Swiss, and 1 cup Parmesan; stir until cheeses melt and sauce is smooth. Fold in cooked cavatappi until coated. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.

5. Stage

Stir remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together in a small bowl; sprinkle over cavatappi mixture, then drizzle truffle oil over top.

6. Stage

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