Truffle Mac ‘N Cheese takes the traditional Mac ‘N Cheese to a new level. Many years ago, when my children were still in school, we traveled to Paris for Winter vacation. Naturally, we visited the Louvre. After several hours of actually seeing the amazing art and sculpture that we had just read about; we had to feed the troops. A close friend of mine had recommended the charming Cafe Marly; which was very close to the Louvre. It was there, that we all first tasted Truffle Mac ‘N Cheese. There were even thin slices of black truffles in it. What a revelation! I made a mental note to recreate this dish at home and here it is.

Notes:
- I recommend white cheddar cheese because I find it less oily when it melts and also easier to digest.
- Whole milk makes a creamier sauce; but you can certainly substitute 1% or 2 % milk if you prefer.
- With the cost of truffles in the stratosphere, I rarely add them to this recipe. I save that for a very special occasion.
