Methods/steps
- Cook the penne in well-salted water until short of al-dente. Drain and toss with the truffle oil, or a little bit of butter.
- Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Add the onions and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently and reducing heat to if necessary until caramelized. Add the garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add the flour. Cook another 2-3 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper and dry mustard.
- Add the milk in 2-3 batches, stirring constantly until thickened. Add the vermouth and continue stirring until thickened again.
- Add the cheddar and gouda in 2-3 batches, stirring constantly until melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, combined the pasta, cheese sauce and grated truffles.
- Butter a 9 X 13 baking dish, and add the pasta mix. Combine the Parmesan and panko crumbs and evenly top the pasta.
- Bake in a 350F oven for 45 minutes. Run briefly under a broiler if the topping isn't nicely golden.
