Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Cook Pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt Butter from Cheese Sauce ingredients over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in Milk and Heavy Cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in Sherry and White Pepper. Remove from heat and stir in Gruyere, Fontina, Gorgonzola, and Parmesan Cheese until melted and smooth.
Stir in Truffle Oil.
Add cooked Pasta to the Cheese Sauce and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine Panko Breadcrumbs, Melted Butter, and Parmesan Cheese from Topping ingredients. Sprinkle over the mac and cheese.
