Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 2 minutes until the mixture is golden and bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, continuing to cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Seafood

    Add the cooked cavatappi pasta, lobster meat, and lump crab meat to the cheese sauce. Gently fold everything together until well combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
