Fortnum's Truffle Mac & Cheese

The perfect midweek supper, this recipe adds a little oomph to this classic dish by using our Truffle Cheddar. This serves four, but let's be honest, you'll most definitely be wanting seconds, or thirds...

Ingredients

Serves 4

350g macaroni
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp plain flour
400ml whole milk

150ml double cream
300g Fortnum’s Truffled Cheddar, grated (truffle lovers can always add more!)
50g panko bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1

Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain well and rinse under cold running water.

2

Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a large saucepan, then stir in the flour to make a paste. Cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes.

3

Gradually whisk in the milk, a bit at a time, until it becomes a smooth sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring, until thickened. Add the cream and stir.

4

Mix in 225g of the cheddar. Take off the heat and season to taste. Preheat the grill to high.

5

Tip the drained pasta into the sauce and mix. Pour into a large, greased, ovenproof dish.

6

Top with the breadcrumbs and the remaining cheddar, then dot with the remaining butter.

7

Place under the grill for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

8

Serve.
