Lobster Mac & Cheese Recipe

Preparation Directions

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.

2. 2

   Make the Cheese Sauce

   In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, creating a roux. Gradually 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 the cheddar and Gruyère cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

4. 4

   Combine with Lobster and Pasta

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

5. 5

   Prepare the Topping

   In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. This will create a flavorful topping.

6. 6

   Bake

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
