Ingredients
-
1 jar Truffle Carpaccio
-
5 ounces cheddar
-
5 ounces mozzarella
-
6½ ounces artisanal semi-hard cheese
-
1 garlic clove
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
Heaping ⅓ cup all purpose flour
-
1½ cups whole milk
-
1½ cups cream
-
1 bay leaf
-
9 ounces macaroni
-
⅓ cup breadcrumbs
-
1 pinch dried thyme
Directions
Prep
• Bring a large pot filled with water to a boil.
Meanwhile, mince half of the Truffle Carpaccio.
• Grate the cheddar, mozzarella, and artisanal semi-hard cheese into a large bowl. Toss to combine.
• Peel and mince the garlic clove.
How to Cook
• In a medium sauce pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and a pinch of Balinese Truffle Salt and stir until the garlic has softened.
• Add the flour and continue stirring until you’ve made a blond roux, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of the whole milk to the pot and turn the heat to medium-high. Whisk until a smooth paste forms.
• Add the remaining milk, the cream, and the bay leaf and continue whisking until the mixture is at a full boil.
• Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer on low heat, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes. This is the béchamel.
• Season the large pot of boiling water with kosher salt and stir. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente (about 8-9 minutes). Strain.
• Turn off the béchamel pot’s burner and remove and discard the bay leaf. Add the grated cheese and whisk to combine.
• Whisk in the chopped Truffle Carpaccio. Taste and adjust the seasoning with Balinese Truffle Salt.
• Fold the cooked rallenti pasta into the cheese sauce.
• In a small saute pan over medium-low heat, stir together the panko and dried thyme. Toast until the panko is GBD (Golden Brown & Delicious).
• Plate the Mac & Cheese in a cast iron skillet or Pyrex container. Top with the crispy toasted panko, Truffle Carpaccio slices, and Balinese Truffle Salt. Enjoy!
