Truffled Macaroni And Cheese

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400u00b0 F (200u00b0 C).

2. 2

   Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and add the pasta, then cook for 5 minutes, or as per the packet instructions (you want the pasta to be al dente).

3. 3

   Meanwhile, grate the cheddar and the Raclette into a large mixing bowl; then pour in the cream and stir to combine well.

4. 4

   When the pasta is done, scoop a little of the cooking water out of the pan (approximately 1/6 cup, or 3 tablespoons) and set to aside.

5. 5

   Drain the pasta and toss it in the bowl with the cheese. Add the salted cooking water and stir vigorously until the pasta is all well coated in a melted cheese sauce.

6. 6

   Add 3 to 4 teaspoons of the truffle oil to the pasta, stir well and taste. Season with a little with salt and pepper if needed.

7. 7

   Grease an ovenproof dish with a little butter, then spoon the cheese-coated pasta into the dish.

8. 8

   Toss the breadcrumbs into a small bowl and drizzle with the remaining truffle oil. Toss to coat the breadcrumbs in oil, then sprinkle over the pasta.

9. 9

   Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown on top and hot in the middle.
