Pasta

Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Roux

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a pale golden roux.

  2. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Cheeses and Seasoning

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses. Add salt, black pepper, and paprika, stirring until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

  4. 5

    Combine with Lobster

    Gently fold in the cooked lobster meat into the cheese sauce, making sure it is evenly coated.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the lobster cheese sauce and mix until well incorporated.

  2. 7

    Prepare Topping

    In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until moistened.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the lobster mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.

  4. 9

    Bake

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

  5. 10

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Lobster Mac & Cheese!
