BEST Mac and Cheese
▪225g (1/2lb) large shell pasta
▪30g (2T) unsalted butter
▪20g (2 1/2T) all-purpose flour
▪400g (1 2/3c) milk, preferably whole
▪75g (2/3c) Gruyère cheese, grated
▪75g (2/3c) Taleggio cheese, rind removed, cubed
▪50g (1/2c) Parmesan cheese, grated
▪75g (1/2c) mascarpone cheese
▪5g (1t) salt
▪1-2g (1/2t) black pepper
▪Pinch of grated nutmeg
▪1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, toasted
▪Optional: olive oil or truffle oil for drizzling
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook per package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continuously to form a roux. Cook for 20-30 seconds to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Gradually add milk to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a bare simmer until it thickens into a béchamel sauce.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add Gruyère cheese, taleggio, Parmesan, & salt. Whisk until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Add mascarpone to the sauce and whisk until incorporated, creating a creamy, silky texture.
6. Season with a pinch of grated nutmeg and black pepper.
7. If you need to hold the sauce while the pasta finishes cooking, cover and keep over very low heat.
8. Combine the cooked shell pasta with the cheese sauce in the saucepan, stirring until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
9. Serve topped with fried breadcrumbs, additional grated Parmesan and Gruyère, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Optionally, drizzle with olive oil or truffle oil for an extra layer of flavor.
