This Ruth’s Chris–style truffle mac and cheese is unapologetically rich, creamy, and indulgent. Inspired by the iconic steakhouse favorite, it delivers silky pasta coated in a luxurious cheese sauce with a subtle yet unmistakable truffle finish.
What makes this dish truly special is the balance. Sharp white cheddar provides structure, Gruyère adds nutty depth, and Parmesan brings savory intensity. Together, they melt into a smooth, velvety sauce that clings perfectly to every bite of pasta.
Truffle oil is used sparingly, enhancing the dish with earthy aroma rather than overpowering it. The result is elegant and decadent, making this mac and cheese feel more like a fine-dining side than a casual comfort dish.
