Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Truffle Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab an 8x10-inch glass baking dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 3
Next, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling, toss in the cellentani pasta and let it cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture—this should take about 13 minutes.
Step 5
After cooking, drain the pasta and set it aside, letting it cool slightly.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, egg white, and a sprinkle of black truffle salt.
Step 7
Whisk these ingredients together until they’re beautifully blended.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Toss in the chopped mushrooms, shredded Gruyere cheese, crispy chopped bacon, and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
Step 9
Gently mix everything until each piece is coated in that creamy goodness.
Step 10
Carefully fold in the shrimp, allowing them to mingle with the other ingredients, and then add the cooked cellentani pasta.
Step 11
Give it a good mix to ensure everything is well combined and ready for the oven.
Step 12
Transfer this delightful mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a beautiful layer.
Step 13
Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and the shrimp have turned a lovely opaque color.
Step 14
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a comforting dish that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Step 15
Enjoy every bite!.
