White Cheddar Truffle Mac & Cheese

Ingredients
¼ cup unsalted butter

¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole milk

2 cup heavy cream

2 cups shredded white cheddar

1lb, fusilli pasta

salt & pepper to taste

1 tsp dijon mustard

1 drizzle Truffle Oil

Preparation
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Cook pasta based on directions on the box or bag. I like to pull mine out a minute or two early -- it will continue to cook in the cheese sauce later.

Step 2: Make the Roux
Put your large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add butter and allow to melt. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Reduce heat to medium and add milk, heavy cream, salt & pepper, and dijon mustard. Continue whisking. When the mixture begins to bubble, reduce heat to low and add in white cheddar until melted.

Step 3: Truffle
Add cooked pasta and drizzle with truffle oil. Stir until well combined with cheese sauce. Remove from heat and let thicken for 5 minutes or so. Top with more cracked pepper if you prefer.
