Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Truffle Oil and Dijon Mustard Recipe

Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) package dried elbow macaroni or favorite pasta (about 2 1/4 cups, uncooked)
¼ cup (4 tablespoons) butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
¼ to 1/2 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
1 (8-ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 tablespoons Giorgio Black Truffle oil
Toppings (optional):
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.

Step 2
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn heat to medium; gradually whisk in milk, and cook over medium heat, stirring or whisking constantly until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in pasta, mustard, and next 4 ingredients, stirring just until cheese begins to melt.

Step 3
Pour pasta mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano or more Cheddar. If desired, top with fresh breadcrumbs, and drizzle evenly with melted butter and truffle oil.

Step 4
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
