Ingredients:

Serving

4 tbsp butter
1 lb elbow macaroni
2 quarts whole milk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 lb montgomery cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 oz gorgonzola, crumbled
1/2 tsp tabasco sauce
1 tsp black truffle oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
fresh chives

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°; lightly butter a 13x9 inch baking dish and place on a foil-lined sheet pan.
Bring a large pot of water to boiling over high heat; cook pasta until al dente—8 to 10 minutes; drain.
In a saucepan over med-high heat, heat the milk until almost scalding.
In another saucepan over med-low heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter; add to it the flour; cook/stir until smooth and straw-colored, about 3 minutes.
Increase heat to medium; whisk the hot milk into the flour mixture and continue whisking until smooth.
Slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to make sure the milk at the bottom doesn’t burn; then remove from heat.
Add in the garlic, sharp Cheddar, Montgomery Cheddar, and Gorgonzola cheese; mix carefully.
Add in the Tabasco and truffle oil; season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the cooked macaroni.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.
Combine the Parmigiano-Reggiano and panko; sprinkle over the macaroni mixture.
Bake 15-20 minutes, until bubbling and browned.
Garnish individual servings with chives.
