Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cavatappi pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk for about 2 minutes until combined and lightly golden. Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in cheddar, Gruyère, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Lobster

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cavatappi pasta with the lobster meat. Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and lobster, stirring until everything is evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Bake the Dish

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the lobster mac and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious lobster mac & cheese!
