I meticulously design my menu yearly, adding old favorites like my pavochon, arroz con gandules, and truffle mac and cheese and experimenting with new veggie side dishes. This dish is always a guest favorite; I always receive texts requesting the recipe the day after the party. I finally sat down, wrote the recipe, and made a how-to video. Here are my tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to make Truffle Mac and Cheese, the perfect Thanksgiving side dish\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/004eSeldRcg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-elevated-mac-and-cheese-experience\">An Elevated Mac and Cheese Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Made with truffle shavings, gruyere, and high-quality cheddar, this is not your average mac and cheese. It&#8217;s a luxurious dish of creamy, cheesy goodness infused with the earthy aroma of truffles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I call it my VIP Thanksgiving side dish because although the ingredients can add up in price, I love to make it for my favorite people. I started making the truffle mac and cheese the first time I lived in Brussels and began to buy Gruy\u00e8re AOP cheese. I love mixing it with a good-quality sharp cheddar as the flavors complement each other very well.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" data-attachment-id=\"9451\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/diningtraveler.com\/truffle-mac-and-cheese-3\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?fit=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,533\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 7_2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1729266570&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Truffle mac and cheese-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?fit=696%2C464&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?resize=696%2C464&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Truffle mac and cheese\" class=\"wp-image-9451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?resize=696%2C464&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Truffle-mac-and-cheese-3.jpg?resize=630%2C420&amp;ssl=1 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-simple-recipe-with-luxurious-touches\">Simple Recipe with Luxurious Touches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I use a mix of truffle shavings and truffle-infused olive oil to <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">give the dish that rich, earthy flavor.

I love to use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3O1nGCG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La Molisana<\/a> pasta, but any good-quality pasta will do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use quality cheese.<\/strong> The flavor of your truffle mac and cheese hinges on the cheese you choose. Opt for a good-quality cheddar and a young Gruy\u00e8re AOP for a smoother melt and richer flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Embrace the truffle.<\/strong> Grated truffle adds an earthy depth, while truffle oil enhances the aroma. Don&#8217;t be shy, but if you don&#8217;t cook with truffles often, start small and add more to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"position: absolute;width: 0;height:
