INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups dried elbow macaroni or cavatappi pasta
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1-pound grated cheese: cheddar, Colby jack, Fontina and Gruyere are all good choices
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons Terrapin Ridge Farms Truffle Hot Sauce, plus more for topping
DIRECTIONS:
- Cook the macaroni until slightly al dente, it should be slightly firm. Drain.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg.
- In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium low heat, cooking the roux for five minutes.
- Take 1/4 cup of the roux and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the egg. Whisk together until smooth.
- Pour egg mixture into the roux, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth, add cheese, and stir to melt.
- Whisking constantly, pour in the milk, add the mustard and truffle hot sauce. Whisk until smooth.
- Cook 5 minutes until very thick. Reduce heat to low. Add salt and pepper.
- Pour the drained cooked macaroni into pot and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately or pour into a buttered baking dish and top with extra cheese. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top. Top with drizzles of Terrapin Ridge Farms Truffle Hot Sauce. Enjoy!
