Melt 25g (1oz) butter in a large frying pan over medium heat and fry the leeks and mushrooms until softened, about 10min. Stir in the truffle oil and set aside.
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the macaroni pasta for 5-8min until just tender. Drain.
Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in a large pan. Stir in the flour and cook for 1min. Take off the heat and gradually beat in the wine, then the milk and cream, using a wooden spoon, until combined. Heat gently, stirring all the time until mixture thickens; it will need to boil to do this. Stir through the Parmesan, Gruyère, 100g of Cheddar and chives; season well. Stir through the leek and mushroom, then mix through the pasta. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining Cheddar and the breadcrumbs.
Transfer to 6 x 300ml (10fl oz) ovenproof serving dishes, or one 2.56 litre (4½ pint) ovenproof dish, top with breadcrumbs and grill for about 5min, until hot and golden. Serve immediately with a crisp green salad, or as a side served with chicken.
