Truffled Mac & Cheese Inwards Idividual Gratin Dishes

Well, it is no wonder that the Creamware Gratin Dishes (and Tart Pans) were the get-go things to become final Fri for the launch of my Fall products.  We all dear the persuasion of something elementary to add together fresh inspiration to our kitchen too menus.  I also mean value it had something to practise amongst the fact that they were filled amongst Truffled Mac & Cheese.  Now that thence many of y'all convey these on the means to your identify (most were sent yesterday, about today!) I persuasion it best to postal service the recipe... because this is the get-go matter you're going to make, right?  I also mean value they'll brand perfect private apple tree cobblers topped amongst H2O ice cream... or banana separate bowls.

Creamware Gratin Dishes, Set of 6, $30

For those of y'all that missed them final Friday, I've reordered about other shipment (of Creamware Tart Pans & Gratin Dishes!), expected to brand it hither on Friday.  You tin forcefulness out guild them from my store now, but hold upwardly aware that they are non able to shipping until side past times side Monday.



These are dandy along side a steak for a comfy dinner at home, or a fancy dinner party.  They tin forcefulness out hold upwardly made a 24-hour interval or 2 inwards advance, making them dandy for entertaining.

The best intelligence most this recipe is that it is a really elementary tweak to whatsoever existing Mac too Cheese recipe y'all like.  The basic persuasion is to add together the flavour of White Truffles (from butter or oil) too to brand it aspect equally truffly equally possible past times using tiny pieces of mushrooms.  Truffle crude is easier to notice than truffle butter, but both tin forcefulness out hold upwardly constitute at Whole Foods.  Be certain to larn the White Truffle products instead of black, for the amend flavor.

Truffled Mac & Cheese
makes 4-5 side servings

1/2 box of shaped pasta (shells or cavatapi)
ocean salt
...
1/2 stick of butter
three mushrooms, minced
ane cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 loving cup of flour
2 cups of milk
ane loving cup of white cheddar cheese, shredded
ane loving cup of monterey jack cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons of truffle crude OR four tablespoons of truffle butter
tabular array salt & pepper, equally needed

Cook pasta inwards boiling, salted water.  Strain.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter, add together minced mushrooms too saute for 3-4 minutes.  Add garlic too create for thirty seconds.  Add flour, stir to coat mushrooms too garlic until flour is absorbed into the butter.  Cook for 1-2 minutes.  Add milk immediately, thence stir constantly until all flour is mixed into the milk.  Continue to create on medium until it thickens too is bubbly.  Remove from rut too add together most of the shredded cheese, but reserve about for the top.  Stir cheese inwards until smooth, thence crease is pasta until it is all coated.  Add truffle crude or butter inwards too stir until melted or mixed in.

Spoon pasta into pocket-sized baking dishes too transcend each amongst shredded cheese too gear upwardly aside.

If serving immediately, identify nether hot broiler inwards oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese on transcend is bubbly too slightly browned.

If y'all are making them ahead, continue inwards the refrigerator, thence bake inwards a 350 flat oven for 15-20 minutes, only until heated through too slightly browned on top.

Get the mushrooms equally pocket-sized equally possible.  They should aspect similar flakes or bits inwards the sauce.

For making cheese sauce, I ever shred my ain cheese.  Pre-shredded cheese is commonly coated amongst something to continue the shreds from sticking, but prohibits smoothen melting.

After sautéing mushrooms too garlic, add together flour.

Then mix inwards flour, immediately.

Then add together milk acre stirring - whisking helps equally good - until smooth.  When it bubbles too starts to thicken, take from heat.

Add cheese into the milk too stir until smooth, thence crease inwards pasta.

Top amongst cheese - or breadcrumbs, if you'd like.

This is our favorite dinner - balsamic vinaigrette tossed greens, seared steaks too truffled mac too cheese.

Hope y'all travail it soon!  Here is the link for the Creamware Gratin Dishes, $30 for a Set of 6.  I can't hold back to play amongst to a greater extent than ideas for these this Fall.
