  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 16 ounces (about 450 grams) medium pasta shapes like cavatappi, penne, or shells

– 8 ounces (about 2 cups) cooked lobster meat

– ⅓ cup (about 75 grams) salted butter

– ⅓ cup (about 40 grams) all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon onion powder

– ½ teaspoon dry mustard powder

– ½ teaspoon salt

– ¼ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

– ¼ teaspoon black pepper

– 2¾ cups (650 ml) milk

– ½ cup (120 ml) light cream

– 2 cups (about 200 grams) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

– 1¼ cups (about 125 grams) shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese

– ½ cup (about 50 grams) shredded Parmesan cheese

– ½ cup (about 50 grams) breadcrumbs

– 2 tablespoons melted butter

– 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

– 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley or ½ teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

1-Start: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C) and greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish for even cooking. This ensures your Lobster Mac N Cheese bakes up bubbly and golden. First, cook 16 ounces of pasta until al dente, then rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

2-Next: melt ⅓ cup of salted butter in a pan over medium heat and whisk in ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour along with seasonings like 1 teaspoon onion powder and ½ teaspoon dry mustard. Cook this roux for about 2 minutes to build a solid base. Gradually add 2¾ cups of milk and ½ cup of light cream, whisking until it thickens in 1 to 2 minutes.

3-Remove: the mixture from heat and stir in 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar, 1¼ cups shredded Gruyere, and ½ cup shredded Parmesan for a smooth sauce. Combine this with the pasta and half the 8 ounces of lobster meat, then spread it into your prepared dish. Top with the remaining lobster and a mix of ½ cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley.

4-Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until it’s hot and golden. For the best results, shred cheese from blocks and let the lobster cool before mixing to keep everything creamy. If you’re into grilling, pair this with other baked pasta recipes for variety.
