Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it forms a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Reduce heat to low and add the sharp cheddar and Gruyère cheese into the sauce, stirring until melted and combined. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine with Pasta and Lobster

    Add the cooked macaroni and lobster meat into the cheese sauce, stirring until well combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Lobster Mac & Cheese!
