Very rich, so not something you will make often, but it's a wonderful indulgence for a special occasion. My husband and I made this decadent and unbelievably delicious dish for our Valentine's Day meal and it was fantastic. Three cups of cream! Delicious but deadly. I love rich food - or so I thought until I made this mac & cheese. Assembled in three layers: pasta with sauce, prosciutto and sauteed veggies, then breadcrumb (tossed with olive oil and truffle oil). Replaced heavy cream with a roux: whisk 1 tbsp butter + 2 tbsp flour in pan, then added the milk adjusted sauce's viscosity with pasta boiling water. Substituted: regular pepper for white peppercorn, onion for leek, 1/4 tsp thyme for fresh thyme, scallions for chives.Ĭrisped prosciutto & rendered its fat used fat to sautée veggies.

I don't see the point of pureeing the sauce. It's still great after I'm done modifying it :). I followed the recipe exactly, even hunting down a tin of truffles, and while it was a bit expensive it got rave reviews from our dinner party guests. Oh, and I used a pinch of Adobo seasoning, too, cuz that stuff is good with everything, am I right? I did use the elbow macaroni, but I substituted milk for cream, velveeta for taleggio, FD&C Yellow Number 9 for the vegetables, and I drank the wine before I added it to the pot. Place into an oven set to 450☏ for 10 minutes or until prosciutto is crispy. Place this into a baking container and top with your topping and chopped up prosciutto.
