1 cup 00 bread flour

4 cups Whole milk

1 cup Heavy cream

2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Method

Cooking Steps

Prepare Pasta

Cook the penne pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Make Cheese Sauce

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream, cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Cheeses

Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar, Gruyère, and half of the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Combine Ingredients

Fold the cooked penne pasta and lobster meat into the cheese sauce until well combined.

Prepare for Baking

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish.

Add Topping

In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Sprinkle evenly over the mac and cheese.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
