Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Cover a baking sheet in foil. Place the strips of bacon on the baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for about 17 minutes or to desired crispiness. I usually leave it a little softer than normal because it will continue to cook a little bit when you add to the final dish.
- While the bacon is in the oven I suggest shredding both the extra sharp cheddar and gruyere cheese into a giant bowl.
- Once the bacon is done. Turn your oven down to 325 degrees. Drain the bacon on some paper towels. Chop into chunks on a cutting board and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of kosher salt and a splash of olive oil while it's warming up. Once it's boiling add your noodles and cook according to the package directions. I used Fusilli noodles but you could use traditional macaroni if you like.
- Once the pasta noodles are done, drain and set aside while you make the roux.
- Start by melting the butter in the saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously to combine for about one minute. Don't stop whisking! It's important to not let it burn.
- Slowly pour in the milk. If you pour too much at once it will start to bubble over the top of the pot. Once it settles down, pour in the heavy cream. (Note: I find that letting the milk and heavy cream sit out on the counter for about ten minutes helps it blend easier) Keep whisking until the roux gets very thick and creamy.
- Once the roux is done add the white truffle oil and whisk it in. Then add the spices and seasonings. Stir in 3 cups of the cheese mixture until completely melted and remove from the heat.
- Blend the parsley and garlic in a food processor for a few seconds. Then add the bread crumbs. Pulse a few more seconds and set aside.
- In the large pot that you used to make the pasta, combine the noodles, cheese sauce, and bacon. Once combined pour one layer into a glass baking dish that has been coated with non-stick spray. Then add half of the remaining cheese to the first layer. Pour more of the noodles in the baking dish and top with any remaining cheese. Finish it off by sprinkling the bread crumb mixture over the top.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. If you want it a little bit crispier, you can bake it for 20 minutes, but know that this will make it a little more dry.
- Serve in a bread bowl for maximum deliciousness!

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler.
- Add butter to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions and garlic until they turn slightly brown. Add the flour and whisk together for 3 minutes to make a blonde roux. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent the roux from burning. Cook for approximately 10 minutes or until the roux has dissolved completely and you can no longer taste the flour. Add the pasta and stir until hot. Add the fresh herbs, the truffle oil, and half of the Parmesan and stir until dissolved. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Put all ingredients into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese and bread crumbs on top evenly. Place under a broiler until top becomes golden brown.
FOUR-CHEESE TRUFFLED MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is one of my favorite things to make once the weather gets a chill in the air. It's great for cheese-lovers (like myself) and works great as leftovers or at dinner parties! Truffle oil has by far been one of the best culinary purchases I have made. One little bottle has lasted me a year, and can be used with so many things, like this recipe. Top with a pinch of truffle salt!
