Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk, and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheeses and Seasonings

    Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar and Gruyère cheeses until melted. Add salt, pepper, and paprika, mixing well.

  4. 4

    Combine Lobster and Macaroni

    Fold in the cooked macaroni and lobster meat into the cheese sauce until well combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly on top.

  6. 6

    Bake

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
