This Truffle Mac & Cheese made with bowtie pasta is decadently creamy and packed with layers of cheesy flavor. Butter and garlic form the aromatic base, while heavy cream and truffle oil elevate the richness. A blend of Gouda, mozzarella, and cheddar melts into a silky sauce that perfectly clings to every fold of the pasta. Finished with a splash of pasta water for texture and a final stir to emulsify, this is indulgence at its finest.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Truffle Oil Technique 🍄Add truffle oil off the heat at the very end to preserve its delicate flavor and prevent flavor degradation from high temperatures.
- Cheese Melting Magic 🧀Grate your cheeses freshly and bring them to room temperature before adding to create a smoother, more even melting sauce without clumping.
- Pasta Water Perfection 💧Reserve at least 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining, as it's crucial for creating a silky, emulsified sauce that clings perfectly to the bowtie pasta.
- Garlic Infusion Trick 🧄Gently toast minced garlic in butter until just fragrant, being careful not to brown, to create a rich aromatic base without any bitter notes.
- Cheese Blend Balance 🥣Use a 2:1:1 ratio of mozzarella, Gouda, and cheddar to achieve the ideal melt, stretch, and depth of cheese flavor in your mac and cheese.
