Method

Cooking Instructions

Cook the Pasta

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

Make the Cheese Sauce

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, constantly stirring, until a roux forms.

Add Milk and Cream

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Incorporate Cheeses

Lower the heat and stir in the grated white cheddar and sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Combine Pasta and Lobster

Add the cooked macaroni and lobster meat to the cheese sauce, stirring until everything is well coated.

Bake (optional)

If desired, transfer the mixture to a baking dish, top with breadcrumbs, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

Serve

Remove from oven (if baked) and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your White Cheddar Lobster Mac & Cheese!
