Recipe - Truffled Macaroni and Cheese

This is a lighter, healthier version of the classic macaroni and cheese, but still indulgent because of the addition of the truffle flavor. It can be made without the breadcrumbs to make it gluten-free if you so desire or require.

Ingredients:

8 ounces of brown rice pasta shells
4 ounces of preferred white cheddar cheese
4 ounces of fontina cheese
1/2 cup of skim milk
parmesan cheese for garnish
whole wheat breadcrumbs for garnish (optional)
truffle salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions:

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- Prepare the pasta as directed on the package
- While the pasta is boiling, grate the cheese and combine it in a small saucepan with the milk. Stir frequently until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is blended. Add salt and pepper
- Pour the finished pasta into a 9 x 9" baking dish and pour the sauce over it. Sprinkle the parmesan and breadcrumbs if you're using them over the top
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the parmesan and breadcrumbs have browned and created a light crust
- Serve hot

Serves 3-4
