I agree... this is mac n cheese for foodies!( And I didn't like top chef as much I did during the first two seasons.) Wonderful!

Luisa you are using Sottocenere al Tartufo cheese. I assume because it easily assessable compare to fresh truffles.I will look for that cheese never heard of it before.
I would like to make this recipe.
Is that a Fillet Mignon
